For the 50th Anniversary, Hot Wheels released several special series including the 50th Anniversary Originals Series (sometimes called 'Replica Redlines'). It features five cars in Spectraflame Paint which were packaged on a card representing the original cards from 1968 and also featured a metal Collector's Button. Each car was adorned with the 50th Anniversary logo on the side.
Although this series is inspired by the 'Sweet 16' from 1968, none of the vehicles are from this era.
