At 40, Hot Wheels To Unveil Bejeweled Car

  • February 13, 2008
Multi-platinum recording artist Nick Lachey will unveil a custom jeweled, 1:64-scale Hot Wheels car, the most expensive in the brand's history, on Friday to celebrate the production of the 4 billionth Hot Wheels vehicle and the brand's 40th anniversary.

The 18-karat white-gold car features more than 2,600 micro-pave set blue, white and black brilliant diamonds, weighing nearly 23 carats. It will be auctioned off later this year with proceeds going to Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

The unveiling takes place at Mattel Showroom in New York.
