This Day in History: Mattel's Hot Wheels toy cars were introduced on this day in 1968. Hot Wheels is an American brand of scale model cars introduced by American toymaker Mattel. It was the primary competitor of Matchbox until 1997, when Mattel bought Tyco Toys, then owner of Matchbox.
Many automobile manufacturers have since licensed Hot Wheels to make scale models of their cars, allowing the use of original design blueprints and detailing. Although Hot Wheels were originally intended to be for children and young adults, they have become popular with adult collectors, for whom limited edition models are now made available.
