A Matchbox car can be identified by a label on the bottom of the car. Flip the car over and there will be the logo for Matchbox as well as the country of manufacture.
A matchbox is a box that is made to store matches. A Matchbox car is a car that, when invented, was so small it would fit into a matchbox. Matchbox 20 got their name from the fact that most matchboxes come with 20 matches.
That depends on the kind of car it's a replica of. A Matchbox fire engine will weigh more than a Miata.

The matchbox car was invented by British toy maker Leslie Smith in 1953. He created the first miniature vehicles for the Matchbox brand, which was originally established by his company, Lesney Products. The concept was to produce small, affordable toy cars that could fit in a matchbox, leading to their iconic name. The success of Matchbox cars popularized the collectible miniature vehicle market.
Playmats for babies start at around $20 and can go up from there. The more involved the playmat, the more it costs.
Unfortunately, Matchbox cars are all different scales. The cars are all made to a particular size (no more than 3"). Therefore, a larger car or truck would have to be scaled down more in order to fit the 3" Matchbox size requirement.
Information about the current Matchbox car models that are available can be found at the Mattel website as well as Matchbox Collectibles, Collectors Weekly and Entertainment Earth. A Matchbox checklist is available at Toy Nutz.
