Hot Wheels Wiki

Speed Machines were a line of vehicles released by Mattel in 1983 to compete with other lower cost diecast brands. They consisted of Hot Wheels castings with a few cost cutting features, such as plastic bases, no chrome apart from the wheels, and simple enamel paint. All were made in Malaysia and had standard basic wheels. None of the packages carried a unique toy #, the vehicle name, or the Hot Wheels logo (only the Mattel logo). The package was smaller than the standard size and did carry Assortment # 4249, 4227-0910, the back of the card was the same for all.
