Paolo Rampini was born in December 1949 in Milan, the city where he has always lived. He had a passion for toy cars since he was a child.
"At 13 years old, he had a collection of 150 models". After 50 years of collecting, he still has a collection of around 12,000 pieces, most of which are die-cast models.
Paolo Rampini started his career as publisher and author of books on antique toys and model cars in 1982. From then to 2023 he has produced 29 paper books, among which The Golden Book of Model Cars (1995), and the books on Bburago and Brumm stand out for their interest and success.
This book, published in 2020, must be intended exclusively as an incomplete photographic collection of Hot Wheels modelcars produced for McDonald's. All the pieces photographed belong to the author collection.
Until June 1979 Hot Wheels has supplied McDonald's with small plastic toys to be combined with Happy Meal. In 1983, using regular Hot Wheels modelcars, it provided McDonald's with modelcars for Happy Meal, identical to those on the market but the packaging changed.
In 1991 Hot Wheels began producing modelcars exclusively for McDonald's.
