He has designed some of the most famous Hot Wheels ever, including the 1949 Mercury, the Boyd Coddington collector set, and the Ramblin' Wagon. After graduating art school he worked as a designer for Ford and then in the aerospace industry, before moving to Mattel. We tour his garage filled with his artwork, streetrods, and years of Hot Wheels designs.

I owe this man my childhood.
I do to
seriously though we actually do because if it weren't for hot wheels we wouldn't love cars as much as we do now
Wow this episode was a real treat. My sons and I love cars, we still collect and PLAY with Hot Wheels, The HW community here on RUclips is second to none. I want to personally thank Mr. Wood for the "Boneshaker" my favorite Hot Wheels of all time!!!
My family and I personally delivered that 1951 spartan ma sion 5th wheel trailer to him when I was younger. One of the best and most memorable experiences of my life .
Best video ever. Never let anyone tell you what you can dream about! Follow your desires and MAKE it happen!!
I loved Hot wheels when I was young they got me into what I love today. I owe this man my happiness in what I get to do. I custom my own cars. I'm 18 and I have almost 2,500 Hot Wheels cars.
The secret to life,........"do what you love" 😊
This guy is waaaay cool. It's just a 10 minute video, but his personality, passion, perseverance and love for cars just shines through each and every second. What a hero.
The guy who makes kids and collectors around the globe happy! Kudos Larry!!
It wasn't my intention to watch this video, but I'm glad I did. What a neat guy. He's been blessed to live out his passion... how completely wonderful. I'd love to get a ride in that '32 Nash!
Gentslike that are rare to find these days .. He reminds me so much of my Grandpa ... It got me tearing ...
L. Wood is the greatest person who ever lived. Truly inspirational. I also loved the custom truck that he built. Looks absolutely fantastic.

Wow, probably the coolest, nicest guy I have ever seen on the internet. Lived/living the dream, one in which he managed to give so many others pleasure aswell as himself. I sure hope this guy has sons/grandsons to share his pleasure with.
This is fantastic. Never heard this guy's name in my life, and yet I feel like I've known him forever...
Simply because I idolized his designs all these years.
Thanks for sharing the story.
Never worked a day in his life,what a lucky man!He has spent his adult life doing the things that make him happy and for that I am jealous and happy I watched this vid.
Passion, talent and drive. He's got it all.
"I've got two hands I can build anything" Great words, great story!!!!
What a legend! If only we all have such good fortune to live our dreams to their fullest.
This guy has got to be the greatest car designer that no one has ever heard of. Absolutely fantastic video! I think we can all relate to his final statement. We found cars and were happy ever after!
That's a touchin story.over all it was real nice 2 hear some one doing something they love since child hood.
Whenever i go to the store i still have to look at the new hot wheels... I seem to always leave with a new treasured memory
Hot Wheels and Motor Trend magazine, two reasons I'm a car nut now. Thank you Mr Wood, and thank you Motor Trend, I will continue to play with my cars until the day I die.
I was in Long Beach on vacation one year and and bumped into Larry at a local shop, we hit it off and I got invited to ElWoods garage, this was right after he got his travel trailer and was working on the truck to haul it, incredible expirence, incredible man, whats funny I still see larry from time to time and he remembers me and tells me I need to come back out and see the shop finished, one day I will ... thank you larry for making my childhood what it was
Larry is an amazingly talented guy! Whether it's Hot Wheels or Hot Rods, he knows his stuff. On top of all that, he's a great guy too!

If you love what you do as a job...I't's never a job............ I've always wanted to be a Sign maker /airbrush man/ artist / painter.....I still work at 47 but feel like I'm Retired...I've felt this way for the last 25 years, This is one of the most honorable videos on RUclips,... Conquer what you love and it will never be work.

Living Legend! I've just discovered a new personal hero. So many lessons learned here, Follow your dreams and passions, get out there and do it. Thank you MT for sharing.
When I was younger I was always around cars so I always wanted a new hot wheels car and I always wanted cars that looked as real as possible and that is why I love how this man works.
Amazing. Huge congratulations to Larry Wood and to MotorTrend for providing us with this amazing life lesson and example to follow. Thank you VERY much.
This guy is truly inspirational
Keep on truckin MR. Elwood. What a awesome story
"If you got 2 hands, you can build anything"
as plain as it sounded, it really hit me deep. Excellent video guys~
this guy is my hero... he is part of the reason i have my car obsession
he's living my bucket list.
For what it's worth, Mr. Wood, I flipped over all my hot wheels cars, and *i* knew the difference as a kid.
Yup me too
His comment on that made me smile because I did exactly the same thing... still do!
Wow this guy made my day, he has made history
I'm glad that Hot Wheels are still going strong, even to this day. And another thing that I liking is that Hot Wheels is getting involved in the automotive world. From JDM, Muscle, Hotrods, Euros, Trucks/SUVs, Bikes. Even to NASA space vehicles/rovers and Movie/TV cars that we've seen and grew up on and loved. Keep up the good work HW.
I still have a few of my Hot Wheels from the early 70's.
I have a few that you did ! Thank you, L Wood !
Regards
Marcos
Wow, what a great man with a great story.
Larry Wood, the ultimate hot rodder.
man, this guy played a big role in my childhood days. Awesome video
Good times, collected a lot during my childhood.
The man has lived a wonderful life...no doubt about it! When I was a kid my Dad owned and operated a body shop, causing me to go the other way with my Hot Wheels. I'd beat them with a hammer and try to put them back together, like my Dad would do with the cars in his shop! Great memories!
Respect for this man
I'm near 16 years, and I still buy hot wheeles. Lol, they're cool. I still love them
Wow, he is pretty amazing. Lived an awesome life and done some amazing stuff.

I am a kid in high school who draws cars. I stopped drawing since I was a little busy with school and friends and I had Cross Country at the beginning of the year and Track in the last few months of school. I am a sophomore. I have a dream of one day becoming a car designer and designing the next Dodge Challenger. After seeing this video I have become inspired by this man. One of these days I am going to pass by his garage and see his whole collection. And hopefully get a drawing from him.
