Mattel Inc. is the owner of Hot Wheels. The company mainly manufactures 1:64 scale cars. In 1974, Hot Wheels introduced its ' Flying Colors' line, and added flashy decals and "tampo-printed" paint designs which helped revitalize sales. As with the lower-friction wheels in 1968, this innovation was revolutionary in the industry, and—although far less effective in terms of sales impact than in 1968—was copied by the competition, who did not want to be outmaneuvered again by Mattel product strategists. Diecast cars are expressed in scale measurements—for example, 1:64, 1:32, 1:16, etc. You may be curious to know how the scale works in diecast cars.a b " 'Hot Wheels' turns 50: How much do you know about the famous toy cars?".
