Bruce Pascal
Hot Wheels

Bruce Pascal - Guest Columnist: Hotwheels
Bruce Pascal of Washington, DC was born in 1961. When Mattel released the first Hot Wheels in 1968 Bruce was one of those kids playing with the tracks, accessories and racing cars. He even had a Hot Wheels trash can in his bedroom! Around 1971 he put his cars away in a wooden cigar box, only to be given them back by his mother cleaning the house in 1999. At that point, a “bell” went off - and he started running ads in newspapers to buy Hot Wheels. Researching former Mattel employees, he started collecting cars they personally had kept for years - prototypes. Twenty years later Bruce has one of the largest collections of older prototypes, written a book on his collection, and has appeared on numerous TV shows.

Over 6 billion have been made since the first 16 different cars were released in their first year. (Ed: Yes, billion with a “B”.)
