Tex Dinoco President Red Gold Version - Rare Factory Custom There's a theory that this is Dex, the record company president who appears in the "Heavy Metal Mater" episode of the short animated series "Cars Toons." Since Mater-related things tend to be based on speculation, it's just a theory. 1975 Cadillac Coupe De Ville This is a factory custom version in red x gold, rather than the usual gold. Rather than the bright red like McQueen, it's more like the color of the Rust-eze logo, which was under the Dinoco umbrella (from 2017 to 2023). In 2023, Tex retired, handing over the Dinoco management he had run for 54 years (!) to his younger brother, and also resigning as the owner of Rust-eze. He passed away in August 2025. (The voice actor, Humpy Wheeler, passed away.) #naohiro2g #naohiro2gminicar
