1953 Daimler DE36 Hooper "Green Goddess" Cabriolet Open Top Red/Silver in 1:18 scale
This is the 1953 Daimler DE36 Hooper "Green Goddess" Cabriolet Open Top Red/Silver in 1:18 scale by Matrix.
The 1953 Daimler DE36 Hooper "Green Goddess" is an extraordinary showcase of British luxury and bespoke coachbuilding, distinguished by its immense scale and regal presence. Powered by a rare 5.4-liter straight-eight engine—one of the largest postwar British engines—it was custom-bodied by Hooper & Co. with sweeping, flamboyant lines, polished belt moldings, and an opulent interior tailored for royalty and heads of state. What truly sets it apart is its exclusivity: only a handful were ever built, each tailored to individual tastes, making the "Green Goddess" not just a car but a rolling piece of art and a pinnacle of hand-crafted automotive elegance unmatched by its contemporaries.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
