Flying colors debuted in 1974, replacing the bland enamel cars from 1973. The folks at Hot Wheels had really perfected the tampo printing process by this time and made the cars much more fun, and it had a huge impact on slaes. Within the line was a subset called Super Chromes, taking some of the normal cars and instead of painting them, they put chrome plating on them with the same tampos.
Also, many of the castings had short runs of alternate colors which were (and are still) very hard to find. These alternates are some of the priciest mainline cars Hot Wheels produced. |
