When we went to visit my wife’s family in Toronto last summer, my mother-in-law (who cares very little about my collection) surprised me by handing me a bag of carded Hot Wheels that she had found at a thrift store. There were a few keepers inside, especially this ’58 Impala from the 2011 Treasure Hunts series. The package is pretty rough, but I believe it’s an International short card, which are generally not found in the States.

The Hot Wheels ‘58 Impala was first released in the 2007 Classics Series 3. Including 5 color options from that first year, it has only been issued in about a dozen different variations.
