Even as a young man, Alfredo “Hot Rod Freddy” Quintero loved lowriders. He was eight years old when he saw his first one — an emerald green 1968 Chevy Caprice — and he’ll never forget that day. As an adult and Canton, Georgia, resident, Quintero has a car lover’s chance of a lifetime: the opportunity to see the lowrider he’s spent years working on immortalized as an iconic Hot Wheels 1:64 die-cast toy car.
