It seems that Matchbox came out first but one of the first Hot Wheels car was A custom Volkswagen from 1968. I found all this out at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Wheels#History http://www.toycollector.com/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=222&task=videodirectlink&id=107 And someone else already had asked this here on the same website. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What is considered to be the very first Hot Wheels car
Cars released in 1968 Custom Barracuda Custom Camaro Custom Corvette Custom Cougar Custom Eldorado Custom Firebird Custom Fleetside Custom Mustang Custom T-Bird Custom Volkswagen (designed by Ira Gilford) Deora (based upon a real custom surf-truck designed by Harry Bradley for Dodge) Ford J-Car (based on the real race car that became the Ford GT40 Mk IV) Hot Heap (based upon the Model T roadster known as "Tognotti's T") Python w car) Silhouette (based upon Bill Cushenbery's custom car) Beatnik Bandit (based upon Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's custom show car)
Edited....
Actually.... the first Hot Wheels car produced was said to be the Custom Camaro, but that has never been proven.
The very first Hot Wheels car ever made was a red modified Matchbox Mustang fitted with "new at the time" wheels with Delrin@ bearings and mandolin wire for the wheel axle.
For more information on the history of Hot Wheels look for a book I co-wrote with Bruce Pascal called "Hot Wheels Prototypes".
