A classic 1979 spot for Mattelâs new portable Hot Wheels Service Center. It opens with a mom on the phone, looking into the next room where kids are completely absorbed in their cars. She smiles and says to her friend on the phone, âOh, let them stay. Theyâre really having fun!â
Inside the room, the kids are busy âworkingâ on their Hot Wheels. They call out things like âThis car needs some work!â as they send vehicles up ramps, onto lifts, and through the service bays of the compact playset.
The announcer explains that the more they play, the more fun they will have with this little garage world, pointing out all the features built into the portable service center. When the cars are parked and the kids are done, the voiceover adds that when playtime is over, it all folds up so you can carry it away.
With a 1979 copyright on the ad, the commercial captures that perfect late seventies feel of durable plastic toys, imaginative play, and moms happy to let the kids stay a little longer.
