“Sweet Sixteen: The Original Hot Wheels Cars of 1968” revisits the launch of Hot Wheels cars, and collector Gary Nabors walks the viewer though each of the sixteen models. All the original cars were based upon real cars of the time - some were hot rod versions of cars being produced by the big auto manufacturers like Chrysler, Ford, GM and Volkswagen, some were based on exotic full-sized show cars, one was a purpose-built race car for the track, and the last one was a scale model of Hot Wheels designer Harry Bradley’s own customized 1964 Chevy El Camino. A wide array of the original cars is featured in the film, which focuses on what today’s collectors look for among these classic toy cars.

I’m 63 and had a cheetah when I was a kid. I grew up in Indiana and moved to Fla for 3 years and left in 89 cause of divorce and ex wife took kids and my hot wheels collection back to Indiana and they got put up in her grandmother attic when I came back had forgotten she had them and now lost. I was watching video and the python came up and I’m like no that’s a cheetah never knew the name was changed. I’d give anything to have my childhood hot wheels back.

I have a blue enamel Ford J Car that I got not too long ago in a case that came with other redlines. It's darker than ones I've seen online but the case the J Car was in came from Indiana.

i think that i put more miles on my Hotwheels cars, and to be fair.......Matchbox too, than i have on my real ones since then. ....but i would come here just to hear the kickass drumming in the pseudo Wipe Out soundtrack !

This was a very informative series. How about the value of the buttons? Are the cars better sold with the button or each separately?
