What were the crazy styled hot wheels cars with the monster drivers from the 1970s called?
In the 1970s Hot Wheels had a line of cars with crazy zany styles and oversized monsterlike drivers. What was this line called? They were like the Ed Roth Rat Fink cartoons. I collected them as a child but can’t remember what they were called.
They weren’t Hot Wheels. The closest things they had were Zowees and Farbs. Ed Roth’s Beatnik Bandit was one of the original 16 Hot Wheels, but didn’t feature any figures.
I haven’t seen any small scale cars from that era of Ed Roth style. I know the larger model kits were quite popular. There was also a series of trading cards called “Odd Rods”.
Hot Wheel Cars – Reliving Your Childhood
Hot Wheel Cars were originally diecast metal and were made by Mattel. In 1968 they made there market place debut, to which they were an enormous success. Mattel launched with 16 cars at first, and these days they are referred to as the “Sweet Sixteen”. Hot Wheel Cars of all colours were manufactured in plants in the United States and Hong Kong.
Output moves away of the US, and Hong Kong becomes the sole producer of Hot Wheel Cars in 1972. Between the years 1968 and 1972 every car had it’s own distinctive trait. The tyres on each car were emblazoned with a red line running on the tyre walls. These new models developed the Redlines as a very effective trademark, and so a new era of die cast cars was born.
Redline Hot Wheels are probably in every males past for the past 40 years. Early Redlines became part of the American psyche, by copying the popular cars of that era. To be more exact, 9 cars followed the style of the day and the other 7 were based on race cars.
Redlines didn’t just rely on red tyres to catch the public attention. As an example these cars were generally painted in very vivid metallic colors called Spectaflame paint and had chromed wheel rims. The diverse styles of Hot Wheel Cars truly did capture the imagination of young boys all over the world. Each car was packaged in a blister pack with very loud colored cardboard backs.
Most young men are now trying to recapture long lost childhood memories by hunting down Hot Wheels Cars. Much like collecting anything, there is a market for Redlines and Hot Wheels collecting in general.
With the dawn of the giant internet auction house eBay, it has made it easier to find and buy even the rarest of old Hot Wheels from reputable dealers and individuals. If you do propose to bid on eBay for example, do ask to see close up pictures before making a bid. In this day and age of the internet, finding the Hot Wheel Cars of your choice will not be arduous.
