Hills was a department store which was in operation from 1957 to 1999. During the last few years of its existence, Hills commissioned several Hot Wheels sets and vehicles to be sold exclusively at its stores.
From 1995 to 1997 Hot Wheels produced exclusive 'Year in Review' box sets for Hills which featured all twelve First Editions from the year. They were limited edition (7000, 5000 and 5000 respectively) and were the first time that collectors could purchase all the year's First Editions in one set. Instead of including all 40 First Editions for 1998, the box set (now named Cool 'N' Custom) only featured eight vehicles.
In addition to the yearly box sets, Hills also sold one exclusive premium vehicle each year from 1995 1999 in a special box labelled "CLASSIC Limited Collector Edition".

1998 Cool 'N' Custom Set[]
"You can't please all of the people all of the time. That old saying is never more true than in the automotive world, where there are hundreds, even thousands of models from which we can choose. Yet some of us can't find the car that is just right. So we drop, chop, channel, paint, jack up, lower, add blowers and basically create our own custom cars to better fit our unique desires and personalities. Hills joins Mattel in pleasing custom car fans with this exclusive COOL'N CUSTOMS special edition car set. Eight newly-tooled 1998 FIRST EDITIONS cars that celebrate our need to see and be seen with some of the coolest hot rods to ever burn rubber"
