Hot Wheels: 40 Years of Fun

So often in life innovation is found while we are at play or while we are doing the things we love in life. For Mattel co-founder Elliott Handler, an experience while playing with his grandchildren in 1966 was the catalyst for what has become 40 years of automotive toy history. It was Handler’s view that the die-cast cars of the time lacked creativity, quality, and design diversity, and from that recognition the idea for Hot Wheels® cars was born. Motoring USA goes inside the Hot Wheels® Designer’s Challenge™ to help you celebrate forty years of fantastic history.
