Kenner Fast Ones (often spelled "Fast 111's") were a short lived series that lasted less than 4 years. Early models were made in Hong Kong, and later models were made in Macao. Early bases were typically chromed, and later bases were often unchromed black, though that isn't a hard and fast rule and some HK models can be found with black base and some Macao models with chrome. A feature unique to this series were individual license plates, including some for Canada and England in those respective markets. This particular issue was a track set exclusive not found in single blister.

The Universal Group gained access to the tooling from Kenner, and having the rights to Matchbox at the time retooled 4 models and moved them to the Matchbox line. A Sandrail Dune Buggy saw one issue before, as rumor has it, the tooling broke. The Foxbody Mustang was used extensively in the Matchbox line up until Mattel bought Matchbox. A Jeep and Chevy Blazer still make occasional appearances, I saw a new issue of the Jeep last year.

About half of the models in the Kenner line were fantasy issues, and even the models based on real cars had a great deal of artistic liberties taken. For reasons known only to the company, the model names are not listed on the base as is typical with most models even at that time, so they can be hard to trace without a cheat sheet model list.
