The 1:55 Scale Diecast Line is a toy line manufactured by Mattel, that released several characters from the Cars movie. For the first two years, only the main characters were released. But eventually, the line officially kicked off and came to release almost all of the characters.
"Desert Art" Series
While not the official name for the series, the initial wave in the Cars line has come to be known by many collectors as the "daytime," "desert", "original" or "classic" series. This series was the first to be released, in 2006.

Toys "R" Us Exclusive Sidewall Shine
In 2008, Toys "R" Us offered a mail-in offer to receive an exclusive Cars character, Sidewall Shine, in special packaging. The offer was to buy 5 Cars at a participating Toys "R" Us, from the approved list of UPCs, between August 18th, 2008 and September 30th, 2008, and mail in the original receipt along with the 5 cardbacks and UPCs from the bought cars, and $5.00 (US). The car was packaged in a clear display case, with a black base, "Sidewall Shine" sticker on the front, and the "World of Cars" emblem sticker on the right side.
Toys "R" Us Exclusive N2O Cola
In late 2008, Toys "R" Us offered a second mail-in offer to receive another exclusive Cars character, N2O Cola, in special packaging. The offer was to buy 5 Cars at a participating Toys "R" Us, from the approved list of UPCs, between October 26th, 2008 and December 31st, 2008, and mail in the original receipt along with the 5 cardbacks and UPCs from the bought cars, and $5.00 (US). Like the Sidewall Shine car, N2O Cola came packaged in a clear display case, with a black base, "N2O Cola" sticker on the front, and the "World of Cars" emblem sticker on the right side.
UK Faux Wheel Drive Promotion
In late 2008, Mattel UK offered a free collector car by submitting codes from 6 Cars with a special sticker on front, the same as last year's UK Promotion. From October 1st, 2008 through February 28th, 2009, the codes from the 6 Cars' packages could be submitted via the Cars UK website or via phone, and in return the customer received a die-cast Faux Wheel Drive car. This is Faux Wheel Drive's first appearance outside of the Motor Speedway of the South set.
"The World of Cars - Race O Rama" Series
In late September 2008, Mattel released yet another series to keep the Cars line going. These Cars (singles) have tickets with the name of the car as the label for their packaging. And on the back, there are codes for the former World of Cars online game, where you can receive power-ups, new parts, new paint jobs, new collectibles and 10 "Car-Coins".

Mattel exclusives
Here are some Mattel exclusives.
The "Motor Speedway of the South" Set
This set was a Hot Wheels Red Line Club exclusive. Its release date was 20th May 2008, and it had every race car in the opening scene. There were only a limited number of 1,000 sets with a unique and random number on a letter that people that bought the set received. According to the information from the description of the set, each set had a unique and random number on the packaging. None of the sets did, and Mattel apologised for this problem and stated that the description of the set was incorrect. Mattel have also stated that some of the racers in this set will be exclusive to the set, but this could easily change. The sale for this set sold out in 2 hours and 26 minutes.

It was a truck similar to the John Lassetire truck from the movie, but with a "Hawaiian shirt" paint job and a surfboard in the truck bed. The design was based upon Lasseter's penchant for wearing Hawaiian style shirts.
Recognized Variants
Note: To be considered a variant, it has to occur in sufficient quantity. Otherwise it is deemed an error.
Packaging Variants
- The "Walmart 8" and 19 of the first new releases to the "World of Cars" series had packages with and without the "New" emblem.
- Impound Boost - In the "World of Cars: Race O Rama" series, this Car was packaged with both confetti blister card bubbles and non-confetti blister card bubbles.
- Impound Snot Rod - In the "World of Cars: Race O Rama" series, this Car was packaged with both confetti blister card bubbles and non-confetti blister card bubbles.
- Fillmore - In the "Desert" series, there is a variant with Fillmore spelled wrong as "Filmore" on both the front and back of the card.
- Fillmore - In the "Desert" series, there is a variant with Fillmore spelled wrong as "Filmore" just on the back of the card.

The other version is the reverse of this, with Tow Cap on the left and Gasprin on the right (image).
- "The World of Cars" Series "Race and Chase Gift Pack" - One version is packaged with Lightning McQueen with a Rust-eze decal on the spoiler, and another version has Lightning McQueen without this decal.
Cars Variants
- Bling Bling Lightning McQueen - The Bling Bling Lightning McQueen released in the Dinoco Dream Gift Pack has eyes that are shifted from that of the Bling Bling Lightning McQueen single. The version in the gift pack has teeth painted more like that of Dinoco Lightning McQueen.
- Boost - There are versions of Boost that were made in Thailand that have a more lavender color, especially under bright lights, while the version made in China is more purple.
- Bruiser Bukowski - There are brown-eyed and blue-eyed versions of Bruiser.
- Dale Earnhardt Jr. - The single of this Car varies greatly from the version in the "Motor Speedway of the South" exclusive set. The set version has a different body (No Stall/Nitroade body), aggressive facial expression (both eyes and mouth) rather than smiling, "JR" logo on trunk area is larger and thicker, rivets on front of spoiler, and the taillights are triangular instead of rectangular.
- Dale Earnhardt Jr. - There is a variant within the "Motor Speedway of the South" sets for this Car. The correct version has a white 2007 copyright and a Dale Earnhardt Jr. stamped signature on the bottom of the vehicle beneath the driver-side door area, with the date code stamped in white on the bottom beneath the front bumper area. The incorrect variant lacks the white copyright and signature, and instead only has the date code stamped in white on the bottom of the Car beneath the driver-side door area.
- Darrell Cartrip - "Supercharged" series and the first "World of Cars" series versions of this Car have a white mouth with some red in the center. Newer versions have a normal looking black mouth with white teeth.

- Fabulous Hudson Hornet - After switching to red rims, there are two versions of this vehicle. One has more pronounced eyelids and frame around the eye, and also deeper and more pronounced lines on the bottom of the Car. The other version has these features less pronounced.
- Fred - There are versions of Fred with and without the "Fred" license plate.
- Fred - In the "World of Cars" series, Fred was rescaled to a much smaller version.
- King - The version of this Car made in Thailand have a differently shaped rear wheel-well than that made in China. On the version made in Thailand, the front section of the rear wheel-well is 1mm further away from the tire than the version made in China.
- Kori Turbowitz - In the "Walmart 8" exclusives of the "Supercharged" series, Kori Turbowitz came in two versions: one with an angled press pass sticker, and one with a straight press pass sticker.
- Leak Less - In the "Desert" and "Supercharged" series, Leak Less was more yellow, but sometime during the "World of Cars" series, Leak Less began to be painted with a green-tinted yellow.
- Lightning McQueen - In the "World of Cars" series Lightning Fast Speedway Track Set, Lightning McQueen had a two-piece body, much like the other McQueens, such as Tongue Lightning McQueen. The two pieces are the main body and the mouth area. All other Lightning McQueens to this point were single-piece bodies.
- Lightning McQueen - In the "World of Cars: Race O Rama" series, Lightning McQueen has been released for the first time as a single with the "Rust-eze" logo on his spoiler. However, the version without the logo on the spoiler has been released in this packaging as well.
- Lightning McQueen - In the "lenticular eyes" version of Lightning McQueen in the "World of Cars: Race O Rama" series, there are two versions: one with plastic front bumper/mouth piece and one with a single metal body piece.

- Piston Cup Pace Car/Charlie Checker - This Car comes in two versions: one with red taillights and one with yellow taillights.

Blu-ray Lightning McQueen
In October 2007, Disney released a limited-edition Lightning McQueen free to purchasers of Cars on Blu-ray. The Car was metallic dark blue in color, and was dubbed "Blu-ray Lightning McQueen." According to the Disney redemption website, there was a total of 15,000 units to be redeemed. This promotion finished on January 28, 2008. Note: This car never appears in the movie.
Lightning Storm Lightning McQueen (Comic-Con 2008)
At Comic-Con 2008, Mattel offered a specially packaged version of a metallic Dinoco Blue "Lightning Storm Lightning McQueen", which was limited to 5,000 pieces. A version similar to this was released in stores, in "World of Cars" Series packaging, as an "oversized" vehicle. The version released in stores was not metallic, had no rockets on top, and had less rockets beneath Lightning McQueen than the Comic-Con version.
Darth Mater
At Comic-Con 2008, a special "out of this world" car was shown, & that car was called "Darth Mater". On October 25th, 2008, this car was auctioned off for $10,000 to help Children Affected by AIDS (CAAF). The display case was signed by George Lucas and John Lasseter. Note: This car never appears in the movie.
2007 UK promotion
In the UK, Mattel placed stickers on some of its Cars merchandise as part of a promotional campaign that encouraged customers to purchase Cars items, collect stickers and redeem those stickers for free items:
- 1 sticker = sticker book
- 6 stickers = Vinyl Toupee (exclusive single-car release previously only available as part of Target-exclusive "Dinoco 400" set in the U.S.)
- 12 stickers = Race Case and Track
This promotion ended on December 31, 2007.
Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen
On October 27, 2007, the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF) auctioned off many items as part of a fundraising effort, including a one-of-a-kind set of Cars die-casts in a specially-designed case signed by Cars creator John Lasseter. The set included a Blu-ray Lightning McQueen, the as-yet-unreleased Richard Clayton Kensington, and a unique metallic red Lightning McQueen, eventually dubbed "Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen." This car was made distinctive by its red metallic paintjob in the style of "Ransburg" paint application process. There is only 1 of this particular vehicle in the world, which was given away at this CAAF auction. The case was won for $13,000 by the president of Toys "R" Us. Another version of this Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen was given to the attendees of a "brainstorming" meeting in the Fall of 2007, which included employees of Mattel and Disney/Pixar. These vehicles are referred to as the "Cars Team '09" version, as they have this designation on the rear spoiler of the vehicle. Mattel only produced an extremely small number (possibly as low as 50) of this Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen die-cast. This version differed from the one created for the CAAF auction in that the color was a red-orange instead of having an actual red "Ransburg" look, white headlights, painted hood bolts, and the "Cars Team '09" on the rear spoiler as previously mentioned. Because of the small quantities produced and the internal distribution of the die-cast, authentic samples of the Red Ransburg Lightning McQueen have become highly sought-after collectibles and are quite unlikely to be found at present on the secondary market. There were no other authorized version of this car ever made, and many "fake" ones can be found for sale (there was not a group of 150 for any other meeting or any such event...these are either fakes or part of a group of some unauthorized vehicles that leaked out of Mattel). Note: This car never appears in the movie.
Sarge recall
On August 14, 2007, Mattel recalled Sarge die-casts released in the "Supercharged" series because of lead-based paint used in their production by the die-cast's Chinese manufacturer. This was part of a major series of recalls for Mattel and one of numerous recalls of Chinese products in 2007.
Fillmore Popularity Shoot-Up
In June 2008, due to the death of actor George Carlin, voice of Fillmore in Cars, people everywhere were looking for the Fillmore die-cast. This popularity shoot-up was similar to the Joker action figure from the Batman movie The Dark Knight, after the death of actor Heath Ledger.

Trivia
- From 2006 to 2008, Leak Less had the correct yellow color. But from 2009 onwards, he had a slightly teal green color.
- Wilmar Flattz was only released as a Lenticular, and not a mainline single.
- Some prototype pictures show the Lightning McQueen Pick-Up Fan, a model that has remained unreleased.
- The line was originally set to end in 2006, but due to the line's popularity, they decided to continue producing models.
- Marion "Clutches" McKay's name is misspelled as "Marlon "Clutches" McKay".
- Patty's name is misspelled Patti.
- Swift Alternetter's name is misspelled as "Swift Alternator".
- On Nick Cartone's cardback, the illustration shows his microphone on the right side of him. However, on the model and in the movie, Nick's microphone is on the left of him.
- The Porto Corsa line was the second longest line, behind the Final Lap line, which made it from 2009 to 2011.
- Don Crumlin is arguably non-canon. He appeared to be Mattel's version of J. Curby Gremlin when he was released in the London Rescue 12-pack, although he didn't appear in London at all.
- Although a Mama Bernoulli 5-pack has been scheduled since the start of the Porto Corsa line, it still remains un-released or even manufactured.
- On the international card of Erik Laneley, the picture incorrectly depicts him of a Fiat 500, instead of a Honda Civic like he is. This error was fixed on the US releases and most other international releases, making the error card rare.
- The "I-Screamer's Biggest Fan" packaging has a picture of I-Screamer instead of him.
- There are no releases from Mater Private Eye.
- El Materdor has never been released in the US.
- There so far isn't a diecast for McQueen's customization with the World Grand Prix bolt flame, Hudson Hornet Piston Cup logo, lightning bolt stickers, Piston Cup sponsors and spoiler with the "Radiator Springs" writing.
- Ishani, Bravo and Echo have foldable landing gear (front wheel only).
