Description[]

The Mattel Dream Car was the first toy vehicle created by Mattel, predating Hot Wheels by about 15 years. The Dream Car was made in at least two different scales, although its most prominent form was in 1/24 scale with a removable roof. The Dream Car was designed by Mattel founder Elliot Handler and Joseph Kossof and was packaged in a cardboard box.

This casting was introduced to commemorate Mattel's 75th Anniversary as well as to pay tribute to Mattel's earliest days of making scale vehicles.

2020 card[]

From the back of the 2020 card:

Born: 2020, El Segundo, California
Designer: Hot Wheels
In 1953, Elliot Handler and Joseph Kossof designed what would be Mattel's first toy vehicle, but it wasn't a Hot Wheels; it was a futuristic bubble-topped convertible with a friction motor called The Mattel Dream Car. Now that first vehicle has been recreated in die-cast detail as a fitting tribute to a dream that became a reality.
