I had 2 of the original Deora Hot Wheels that I bought as a kid in 1968, one lime green and one purple. One or both are still here, surfboards are long gone.

I got one of those original HotWheels™ Deora models in 1968. It was *the* truck of the future, so cool, and it came with surfboards, so it was identified with the cool California surfer scene. I never knew it had the door in front, I was only seven, and likely didnt even know the Deora was a real car. Still, it was a very striking, immediately recognizable design. How very cool!

The Deora rules! I'm surprised they left the Olsmobile Rocket emblem on the horn button of that cut-down Toronado steering wheel, but so cool!

Hot Wheels has a recently made a Deora II, same overall design but more rounded and bubble like. There is a real version, which I recently saw in El Segundo, California where Hot Wheels (Mattel Toys) is headquartered. There was a national contest that toured cities across America where people enter their car to be picked as a Hot Wheels toy car. They make one (a toy version of the car) for the winner of this contest every year! The tour ended in El Segundo, but we didn’t stick around to find out who won. There were some very cool cars there!

I always wondered how the occupants got in or out! Sure wouldn't want to be involved in a front-end collision if this had become a production vehicle, though.
