Gotta disagree with the idea that they've always been popular. Sure, Hot Wheels launched in '68, but their real 'boom' in popularity varied depending on the era and the car culture at the time.
Hot Wheels officially hit the shelves in 1968. Elliot Handler co-founded Mattel and came up with these iconic toy cars, wanting to create a cooler, flashier alternative to what was out there. They've been a hit with kids and collectors ever since.
1968, friends! And lemme tell ya, some of those original models are worth a pretty penny today. If you've got an old Hot Wheels treasure trove from your childhood, you might be sitting on a goldmine!
