This Mattel Wheels VW Concept 1 is a white New Beetle-style car with a light blue stripe and a VW emblem on the door. The front of the card marks it as 18 of 100 vehicles, with a Top Class badge and the Mattel Wheels name on the card.
The back of the card is a Series 4 collector card with a 1999 checklist that lists VW Concept 1 as car 3 of 5 in that checklist. Volkswagen trademarks appear on the package.
This car is enclosed in its original card-and-blister packaging. The photos show the front and back of the card, the clear blister, and the vehicle as offered. Light shelf or handling wear may be present. No mint-card grade is assigned.
Product appearance and packaging details may vary slightly from the photos shown.
The white-and-blue Concept 1 deco and the Mattel Wheels 18 of 100 card make this a recognizable late-1990s Matchbox piece. It fits a Mattel Wheels or Top Class set, or a collection of carded Volkswagen models.
Collectors can identify this variation by the 36562 product code, the 18 of 100 marking, and the Series 4 / 1999 checklist back printed on the card.
