I have many of these cars from a variety of materials. I made this one from two layers of 3/4-inch MDF glued together and then cut on my scroll saw. I sanded and sealed the body and applied multiple coats of acrylic paint with a clear glossy topcoat.

I can make these in any color or size. I welcome custom orders.
I can quickly drill this toy car to accept peg people/dolls. I did not drill this one because at the time I made it, I did not have the technique down well enough to get the hole drilled correctly without damaging the paint.
The wheels are made from birch hardwood and finished with amber shellac. The shellac soaks deep into the wood and wears well.
I back all the wheels on my toys with nylon washers. The washers are there as a spacer to prevent the wheels from rubbing against the body. Nylon in slippery and acts as a bearing for the spinning wheels and helps the toy Hot Rod to roll fast and smooth.
I painted the axel hubs with metallic purple acrylic paint.
The exhaust pipes are made from birch hardwood dowels and painted with black acrylic paint with a clear shellac topcoat.
All of the finishing materials in my toys are non-toxic.
