Background:\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\nFor the first time, Hot Wheels car designs will grace the face of Forever stamps for fans of all ages to enjoy.

Hot Wheels was born when Mattel co-founder Elliot Handler challenged his design team, which included a General Motors car designer and a rocket scientist, to create a toy car that was cooler and performed better than anything on the market. Mattel soon introduced its iconic orange tracks, which provided children unlimited ways to test out stunts and racing skills. The Hot Wheels toy line expanded rapidly. Since the inception of Hot Wheels, Mattel has produced thousands of varieties of cars. In 2011, Hot Wheels was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. Today, children and their parents still love racing the eye-poppin\u2019, colorful, lightning-fast cars.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
