The Hot Wheels Story/ New Goodyear MT/R tires

Season: 3 | Episode: 13

POP QUIZ... what are the 16 most influential cars ever made? If you answered Ford, Chevy, VW, Honda, or any other car manufacturer... you are close... but wrong! The 16 most influential cars ever made were the 16 original Hot Wheel cars that Mattel rolled out in 1968. Stacey walks you through the fascinating and unique story of how those little metal cars came to be... and how they changed American car culture in a HUGE way. Young or old, you will love the story about the cars that turned living rooms across the country into huge racetracks. Matter-of-fact, we'll bet you not only remember these cars, but you probably owned a few of them over the years. So dig out the toy box and put the chores on hold because it's time to do some Hot Wheels racin?!
