From Wikipedia:

In 1969, Topper Corp introduced Johnny Lightning model cars and track sets in response to the growing market. NJ inventor and Henry Orenstein owned Topper and created Johnny Lightning with 11 cars and that year. Topper based most on real cars of the period. In addition, Topper sold a Johnny Lightning helmet, carrying case, and track.

For 1970, Johnny Lightning introduced 31 new models, mostly based on fantasy vehicles.

Johnny Lightning sponsored Al Unser, in the 1970 and 1971 Indy 500 races. Unser was able to capture those victories in his blue lightning bolt decorated Johnny Lightning Special. After the initial 500 victory, sales of the Johnny Lightning cars increased, from initially having sales behind that of Mattel Hot Wheels cars.

Only five new models were introduced for 1971, all part of a series called "Custom Cars". Each came packaged with plastic snap-on parts to customize the cars. By the end of 1971, Topper was forced to close due to business fraud which brought an end to the Johnny Lightning cars
