Hydraulic and air suspension systems make lowriders jump and bounce, giving rise to dancing car contests

Johnny Lightning's Scrapin' embodies the Lowrider culture and its rich history that reaches back to the 1940's in America's southwest, when Mexican - American veterans embraced a new style of car culture by customizing their vehicles to drive 'low and slow', in contrast to the speed - based hot rod craze

Today, the Lowrider appeal reaches across the country, where candy colors and magenta velvet interiors are adorned with amazing paint jobs, reflecting the pride and workmanship unique to each cultural region

Johnny Lightning is a brand of diecast model cars launched in 1969 by Topper Corporation (owner of the "Topper Toys" brand), similar to the hugely successful Mattel's Hot Wheels cars. Their claim to fame at that time was that they were extremely fast compared to other brands of die-cast cars. Their most important technology was to mold in a small hook under the front axle so that they could be propelled by a lever-driven catapult, far faster than could be obtained by either gravity, or battery powered "supercharger" devices

Johnny Lightning: A Legacy of Diecast Excellence

Johnny Lightning was first introduced in 1969 by Topper Toys as a fast, flashy competitor to Hot Wheels. Known for their speed and bold designs, they gained quick popularity before disappearing in 1971 when Topper closed. The brand was revived in 1994 by Playing Mantis, reigniting interest with authentically detailed diecast cars and trucks that appealed to collectors and nostalgic fans alike.

Now owned by Round 2 LLC, Johnny Lightning continues to produce limited-edition, highly detailed vehicles featuring realistic paint, rubber tires, and collector-friendly packaging. From classic muscle cars to pop culture icons, Johnny Lightning remains a favorite for those who appreciate craftsmanship and a touch of nostalgia in every diecast.
