"In 1968 Mattel introduced the very first Hot Wheels vehicle. Since then millions of kids have grown up with the Hot Wheels family of cars and trucks. Now it’s our turn to say ‘thank you’ for 20 years of support! Hot Wheels is proud to present our 20th anniversary “Special Collector’s Edition” car, a sleek chrome-plated vehicle embossed with a striking 20th 20th anniversary logo! There are six different chrome-plated cars representing most of the Hot Wheels segments." (from the back of the 20th Anniversary 3 pack)
