Hot Wheels Redline Indy Eagle Grand Prix 1969 in Original Packaging @ Time’s Tin Cup !

The original Hot Wheels were made by Elliot Handler. Handler discovered his son Kenneth playing with Matchbox cars and decided to create a line to compete with Matchbox . Hot Wheels were originally conceived by Handler to be more like “hot rod” cars (i.e., customized/modified or even characterized or fantasy cars, often with big rear tires, superchargers, flame paint-jobs, outlandish proportions, hood blowers, etc.), as compared to Matchbox cars which were generally small-scale models of production cars. He began producing the cars with assistance from fellow engineer Jack Ryan.

I am a Marvel comics fan. I found Ant-Man to be one of the silliest comic heroes. But, the Ant-Man & Wasp, 2018 rendition with the Hot Wheels scene stirred such nostalgic memories of playing with my Hot Wheels collection; I fell in love with that movie based on those memories.

Who, as a child; did not wish their Hot Wheels collection could do this?
