Did McDonalds invent the DeltaWing?

Car #7 sure looks delta-wing-esque to me aka "Tricar x8"

Now that's an ugly firebird.

Careful Don Panoz might print adds at McDonalds now threatening to sue.

Thanks. Now, I want back the brown Jag from McD's that I had as a kid, AND I'm hungry for some McDonald's.

P.S., for a second, I thought the red, white, & blue one was a Commandtron:

Nice, back when McD's offered actual Hot Wheels cars, and not variants that manage to be even cheaper...

Their best ones were either the ones that glowed in the dark or the later ones that had neon-like underglow and lit-up headlights and taillights.

I still have my Lotus although the battery is 100% likely to be dead now.

Wow, I have one of those as well! Battery still works too, I just checked the other day when I was organizing and putting my collection away in boxes.

Holy cats...

I remember that very promotion. I have 10 of those 14 cars.

...including the red Tricar X-8.

The only cars I don't have are the Baja Breaker van, the red Fairmont, the 308, and the T-bird. The restaurant in my home town gave away the '56 Hightail Hauler instead of the Stutz Blackhawk. I do have a Blackhawk...but it's silver with yellow and blue.

I still have a bunch of these cars from the promotion, just looking at the pic I think I have about half of them at least. I may have to look into acquiring the other half.

Is this the 1983 Happy Meal Promotion? Sad thing is, I vaguely remember this, getting the 928 and maybe the 380SEL. I was 6 that year.

I'd go buy a bunch of happy meals right now if they had hot wheels in them!
