You are bidding on one (1) RARE | vintage first year Hot Wheels car:

"The Original 16!!!"

1967-68 Mattel HOT WHEELS: CUSTOM MUSTANG Metallic GOLD

The first line of Hot Wheels die-cast cars introduced were called “The Sweet 16,” and made their debut at the International Toy Fair in 1968. “The Sweet 16” were just that: 16 cars whose designs were inspired by California muscle cars and hot rods.

The first Hot Wheels toy car offered was the Custom Camaro, sold on May 18, 1968 – Hot Wheels’ official “birthday.” Following the Custom Camaro, the 15 other cars in the line were the Beatnik Bandit, Custom Barracuda, Custom Corvette, Custom Cougar, Custom Eldorado, Custom Firebird, Custom Fleetside, Custom Mustang, Custom T-Bird, Custom Volkswagen, Deora, Ford J-Car, Hot Heap, Python (now called Cheetah) and the Silhouette. Those first toy cars were radically different than anything else in 1968. Today, “The Sweet 16” remain among the most valuable and collectible toy vehicles ever made.
