Playart was a Hong Kong-based toy company that specialized in die-cast model cars from 1965 to 1983. The brand was founded by Duncan Tong and produced 1:64 scale vehicles, similar in size and style to Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Tomica.
Playart cars were often distributed under different names, such as Peelers (Woolworth's), Road Mates (Sears), and Freewheelers (McCrory stores). The company also collaborated with Model Power, selling Playart cars as Road Kings.
Playart was known for its unique model selections, including vehicles that were rarely produced by other manufacturers, such as the Fiat X1/9, Lotus Elite, and Plymouth Barracuda Formula S. Some of its castings were die-cast seconds from brands like Yatming and Tomica.
