Hot Wheels 100percent 40th Anniversary 57 Ford Ranchero Appraisal

Hot Wheels 100% 40th Anniversary '57 Ford Ranchero

This is a 1:64 scale die-cast metal '57 Ford Ranchero from the Mattel Hot Wheels 100% line, specifically a commemorative release for the Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary (produced circa 2008). The vehicle features a vibrant orange and white paint scheme with intricate flame graphics along the body sides. It includes high-detail elements characteristic of the 100% line, such as Real Riders rubber tires on multi-spoke chrome rims, a detailed engine blower protruding from the hood, and a clear window showing interior detailing. The item is currently in its original cardboard and plastic packaging. The packaging shows significant wear, including soft corners, visible creasing along the top header flap, and white abrasive wear along the bottom edge and corners of the box. There is a noticeable tear at the top of the 'Hot Wheels' logo flap near the hang hole. The clear plastic window appears intact, housing the car in a display position. The branding includes the '40th Anniversary' logo and the '100%' logo with a '14+' age rating, indicating it was marketed to adult collectors rather than children. The craftsmanship is superior to standard mainline Hot Wheels, utilizing multi-piece construction and premium finishing techniques.
