Hot Wheels First Editions

The First Editions collection started more than 20 years ago. The cards share the typical blue card. All the new castings that the giant Mattel wanted to include within its mainline series, were expected impatiently by the followers of the beloved brand Hot Wheels. Everybody was curious and wanted to see what was going on with the new models and what could be expected within the next years.

No doubt, this collection has enough history, since its year of creation in 1996 with an impressive repertoire of debut cars, with models as loved as the 1996 Ford Mustang GT, the Chevy 1500, the Volkswagen Drag Bus or the impressive Ferrari F50 Spider. This series has continued to be called that way until 2006, the year in which the name was changed to “New Models”.

The Road in 1968, based on the wheelbase of the Chevelle van and the four-door sedan. The interior was renovated, including cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl seats and deep-torsion carpets. Front disc brakes and Positraction were optional. A new high performance Super Sport SS396 version was released. The Turbo-Jet 396 was offered in 325 hp (242 kW) or 350 hp (260 kW) versions.
