Re: HotWheels History
I was watching Ultimate Cars on discovery channel last night and they were doing Ultimate Power Cars, the #1 car was the 68 440 Charger and a guy they were interviewing that had one said he always wanted one and he sold his Hotwheel collection to get it!!. Yes i know what your thinking "a 68 charger is #1???", well the way they were thinking is that they were the best bang for your buck.

Re: HotWheels History
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)
