Elliot Handler co-founder of Mattel decided to produce a line of die-cast toy cars for boys. His idea was to capture a portion of the huge market for small car models dominated at that time by the British company Lesney Products with their Matchbox cars. Although his executives thought it was a bad idea the cars were a big success. There were sixteen castings released in 1968 eleven of them designed by Harry Bentley Bradley with the first one produced being a dark blue Custom Camaro. Race and rank favourite Hot Wheels cars!
