Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels was a brand of toy cars introduced by American toymaker Mattel in 1968. It was the first competitor of Matchbox until 1997 when Mattel bought Tyco Toys, then-owner of Matchbox.

Though Hot Wheels were originally for youngsters and young adults, they need to become fashionable adult collectors, for whom edition models are now made available.
