Quick History of Hot Wheels Japan Die-Cast Models Cars
While Hot Wheels started in the US in 1968, they gradually entered Japanese car culture over time. This was not a one-time event but rather a natural expansion due to the increasing international demand for Japanese cars. This passion even led to dedicated lines such as “Car Culture Japan Historics,” which focused on the recreation of some of the most iconic Japanese cars from different decades with very fine details.
