MATTEL HOT BIRDS MACHING BIRD - blue

Cast metal toy made in US

Size: 4 1/2" (11 cm) length

 

California's Mattel introduced a small line of die cast metal toy planes in 1970 to accompany Hot Wheels. Every model was styled dramatically and was designed to travel down a nylon line, equipped with an aperture and hook. A sparkling finish and clever name (in this case, a combination of Mach number, as in supersonic, and mockingbird) completed each plane's personality.

 

This Maching Bird is finished in metallic blue Spectraflame paint. It features winglets and an opening engine compartment.
