The History of McDonald's and Hot Wheels die-cast cars.

McDonald's has attempted to develop promotions for children, since 1961 with small related plastic toys, in their Happy Meals. The first models of cars distributed for McDonald's started in 1983, using the Hot Wheels models of the normal line and followed all the way through 1990. In 1991 McDonald's found another way to distribute the Hot Wheels in their Happy Meals for the first time. Some of these were Hot Wheels by Collector Number and were also placed in a factory plastic baggie for the first time. Since then, some annual promotions related the models of cars had been made. They had enclosed models like, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Stompers 4X4, Tonka and Bigfoot toys.

Below will show a list by "Year", starting with 1983, Model, and will link you to the page of the Casting Name to get more of a comprehensive detail of the Hot Wheels Die-Cast car. Also will show the differences between East Coast and West Coast, as part of their promotions.
