Hot Wheels Original 16 plus Display Set
When Hot Wheels ripped out of the starting gate in 1968, it was with 16 exhilarating cars. And those cars have made tracks for 50 years, building a brand known around the world.
For our 50th Anniversary, we've taken our HWC Original 16 retools of these rare castings and constructed one awe-inspiring showroom-style display set. A recreation of the original store displays made in 1968 to showcase the new die-cast brand, it features a slide-out tray to hold the cars until you're ready to show them off. Whether you were there when they launched or not, this nostalgic set will be a classic addition to your collection.
Each of these die-cast/die-cast cars features a Spectraflame finish-a shiny paint job named with the original releases. They also roll out on Neo-Classics Redline wheels, emulating the classic red-striped tires that inspired the early line. Remaining authentic to the first editions, some of them feature opening hoods and/or matte black roofs as well.
As an added bonus for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson, this set includes a proof sheet signed by the current Hot Wheels design team. Each set features an individually numbered sticker (xxx/1,500). Not yet available to the public.
