HotWheels History

[njsteve]

Being the packrat that I am, I still have all of my original redline hotwheels from 1968 to 1972 (about 75 or so cars). I also have all of brother's hotwheels. His were much nicer as he used to just look at them and then put them back in their case without smashing them into each other like normal boys did. (he went on to become a corporate lawyer - i guess that explains it)

I too collect Hotwheels, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning cars. I do not have too many original cars though. But the few vintage cars I have, have come from www.thetoypeddler.com . The sellers on this site have great stuff. There is a small fee to join the website ($5 I think) but it is well worth it for the collector!

When hot wheels came out I pretty much abandoned my Matchbox cars...we used to set up the track and dead end it into a wall at the bottom of the stairway !!! The Eldo lasted the longest !!!
