Hot Wheels Custom Firebird (1968)

The Custom Firebird is the Sweet Sixteen's open car, modeled on the 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible, the pony car Pontiac built to take on the Mustang. Its standout variation is a rare late run of US cars with door lines cast into the sides. Otherwise it follows the pattern: clear glass, a dash-molded steering wheel and a plain base on US cars, blue glass on Hong Kong ones. US rose, light blue, dark olive and brown are listed as rare, and creamy pink is the rare Hong Kong color. Its shape reappeared in 1970 as Light My Firebird.
