The Original 16 Redline Hot Wheels

In 1968, Mattel released the first Hot Wheels--1/64th scale die cast metal cars that were different from Matchbox cars with their enlarged wheels, their custom hotrod design aesthetic and their spectra-flame paint. Can you name the original 16 Hot Wheel castings?
If you know your Hot Wheels, this could be easy...if you don't, the hints probably won't help you very much.
The answers are in alphabetical order based on the name that Hot Wheels identifies each of the cars.
Good luck!
