Demon

The Demon (1970)

The Demon was produced in 1970-71 and was based on the 1957 Li'l Coffin show car.

All Demons were produced in Hong Kong and had a black painted roof. Most of these cars were
produced with black or white interiors. The white interior is less common and therefore increases the
value of the car. Demons with tan and grey interiors also have been reported. Demons were
packaged with either a metal or a plastic collector button.

A similar casting named the Prowler was produced in 1973. All 1973 Prowlers had enamel paint,
not spectraflame like the Demon, and lacked the black roof. Apparently, leftover bases from the Demon
casting were used to produce a large number of Prowlers. In fact, Prowlers with Demon bases are
probably more common than a Prowler with a Prowler base!
