Today it is not blood flowing in my veins, it is the river of my childhood and in this river I fished "Matchbox" signed a French collector..............:-).........:-)........Thank you very mutch for the amazing vidéo..................:-).................:-)
i think those large prototypes are used as a tooling guide for an old school cnc type machine called a pantograph they would rub a leverage arm with a pin on the end across the surface and it would push the milling device on a pivot across the blank and create the small version or mould
I'm only like 6 minutes in. Sooooo cool. Just FYI, that big "75" display was a store display. You'd go into a small pharmacy or something (think Mom n Pop, not CVS) and the cats would be being the counter or whatever, and you'd look at the case and ask for #25 or whatever and the guy would reach back (like cigarettes) and give you a #25... Usually in a *box.*
Somewhere on TH-cam there's a few videos that show the process of how the Lesney company made the Matchbox cars. For the oldest cars by Lesney, they're "British Pathe' docs. Some of the oversized cars were slowly traced over with a device called a Pantograph, which was directly reducing in scale to carve the molds in order to mass produce the car. Others are more modern. They are enlarged test shots so that details are easily seen by the design/production to approve the design before the Computer Numerically Contolled (CNC) process to create the mold begins. What's really fascinating to me, as a collector, is the level of detail in the older castings from the 1950's and 60's exceeds that of the high tech created castings today. Danny's Diecast Disasters customizes and details an old Refreshments Trailer that contains in detail, metal cabinets with handles, a large 5 gallon(?) hot water container, brass cash register, wall clock, metal fry spatula, fry pan, and a stove with burners and knobs in a space less than 2" long, 1" wide, and 1 1/4" tall. You're in for a treat.
Just to clarify, those matchbox cars were not made in 1975. Every year, Matchbox would produce 75 cars for that series for whatever year. From time to time, new cars would replace some from last years 75. Hope that this helps. Huge Matchbox Fan!!!!! Nice video. 🙂
I grew up in the Clifton area. I attended St. Anthony's school in Passaic. I remember when my mother worked at the Matchbox plant in Clifton. They basically boxed the cars there in order to get around the import taxes. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories.
Boogie, I lived in NJ for 45 years and I never knew that place existed. Thank you so much for showing me this. It brought back a lot of memories from when I was a little boy and my father used to bring me home Matchbox cars. I wish I still had them.
Nice video- I interjected a bit on some of your comments. I run a Matchbox museum as well in Connecticut with 40,000+ toys housed in 11 rooms of my house. Everett and I have 2 of 3 biggest MBX collections around. Again... nice video :)
The 75 was not 1975. I don't remember what it was. Some of the cars in those sets are based on models made in the 1990's and 2000's. The wheels on those models were not available in 1975
There’s a cartoon/Tv museum in New York where you can watch all your favorite cartoons past and present (I think) if your interested in that. I’ve only been there once and loved it.
Thanks for this Boogie!! I'm sharing this Video with all my Collectors groups!! Some of my models that I've restored on my channel, like the Muira Lamborghini you filmed! Same Model but variations of colors and years! The plastic big models are the 1st carved or cast model prototype, then goes over to the die cast station for casting. Great upload
I’m a girl of nearly 60 years but I was something of a Tom boy and I loved Matchbox cars (and Hot Wheels). Still enjoy them. I inherited my dad’s small collection when he died. Very cool, thanks Boogie!
I remember going to the neighborhood drug store back in 1970 and they had matchbox cars in a round display case with cars inside with numbers underneath. You tell the clerk what number you want and they give you that car in a box.
My favorite maichbox was yellow mustang blaclk hood motor sticking out big back tires yellowish or orange windows i got it in early 1970s miss it im 52 yrs old now miss how people was back then they was very nice love you boogie love the video to good memories
Hey Boogie, fascinating to see so much of my Father in laws work, Matchbox was a United Kingdom company, Gerald worked for them for 20 years right up to when they were sold to Matel - he was THE head designer. Fun fact he was so key to Matchbox, the management dedicated on the event of his 40th birthday, the rolls Royce silver shadow, to this day that car still carries his dedication on the licence plate, reads GNF 40T, GNF his initials, 40 for his age and T relating to 1978, in the United Kingdom a letter code is used to denote a regular cars year of manufacture. He would be amazed to visit this great museum.
The plastic cars are like oversized models. They're the original sculpt, usually only a few are made. It's to test to make sure everything looks and works correctly.
very happy you went to nj. there is so much history and amazing places in nj. Skylands Manor botanical gardens. long pond iron mines ringwood Manor all within 5 miles in North Jersey amazing if you ever venture back all 40 mins north of Newark air port
That is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. I live near Cleveland (as well if you do Zombrex) and can absolutely attest to it being pretty awesome if you like that movie at all. They even have actors and crew from the film there sometimes. They were going to tear it down at one point. I still want to save the money to bid on staying overnight in the house on Christmas Eve.
I had no idea “Monster in my Pocket” was made by Matchbox. I remember taking those to school and me and my friends would show each other which ones we had. Fun times.
You could use them as a really bad rubber that smudged things everywhere. Rubbers being the proper word for square/rectangle things that rub out pencil marks on paper.
Monster in my Pocket! Oh wow... That's what inspired my username decades ago. A green roc, which I did not see that specific one in your video, but it's out there, I have one :)
That was really cool Boogie! Thank you fore sharing your video w/us. I was raised as a tomboy so I even remember some of those good oldies from the 1970's. This was very awesome, Chris from Missouri
Hi , Iam from England and I used to collect Matchbox toys from the 1957s and then when my son was 4 Yrs we both carried on till he was12yrs but we have never seen the likes of this ,it was created by an Englishman called Lesney if I remember Iam now 72 and still collecting cars in scales 1/64 1/43 1/18 and 1/12 I guess it keeps me young,Cheers!!
After the WW2, Leslie Smith and Rodney Smith (not related) created Lesney, a combination of their first names. Later they named it Matchbox because someone noticed the cars could fit in a match box. It's great to see the brand alive and well under the Mattel banner!✌
The grey/brown/white clay looking things remind me of sculpted prototypes used in the development of all sorts of things including actual cars. I'm 51 now so my memory may be wonky but I think I remember a match box play set that was a factory so maybe those were part of that. I'm still waiting for something evil kenivel to show up every one did evil kenevil marketing.
Matchbox set out to have 75 models in each release. That was a store display case; the store could replace cars in the "Matchbox 75" case as updates or newer releases came out.
This looks so cool. I think once I go back to see family again I will have to check this out, TY for letting me know about it. Also I'm sure others mentioned what the big unfinished models were at the start of the vid, they look like proto type models. Still all very cool
Man, this looks like so much fun. I was all about the Matchbox collection when I was a kid. Wish I still had my old collection. Well played with a beat to shit... worth nothing... but I sure did love them.
Id guess those oversized solid painted cars are how they make a matchbox car,they make the big one then scale them down in the computer for production?
Very cool video. I sense a road trip! Im not an expert, but the sets that say 75 are not from 1975. There was a time when the matchbox lineup consisted of 75 cars in any given year. Some would be retired to make room for a new casting to keep the number at 75. Just a little tidbit of info to help clarify. 😁. Great vid again. Thanks for the post!
I recognize a 2008 Honda Element (#31) and 2005-2008 PT Cruiser convertible (#32) at 5:12 so I don’t think these are from 1975. I think the 75 may be the number of cars in the set, with 2 new bonus models. I can definitely spend an entire day here. Added to my road trip destination, thanks to you! These are kind of places I really appreciate you sharing with us. I would’ve never known about this place had you not posted this video. Great video, man!
That's a awesome store boogie, thanks for showing us this place, it brings back my childhood. You showed some stuff that I had as a child of the 70's and some car's I still have today 🤙🤙
matchbox 75 means...there were 75 models in the series every year...that system is not used anymore...it was mostly used when lesney was the matchbox owner...later matchbox was owned by tyco...now its owned by mattel....the brand that makes hot wheels
Notification squad thank you for another great video Boogie
Pinned for being notification squad!!
@@boogietravels4433 amazing how many cars and trucks are there. This was amazing, brings me back in time. Thank you 😊
Hell yeah

I guess Im pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
If Boogie wouldn't have gone here, I'd have never known it even existed. Very cool.
VSG Steve Agreed! I need to go there for myself one day, now that I know it exists. I love small oddball museums.
VSG Steve same
That's amazing, I am 46 from the UK and I spotted some vehicles from my childhood, even ones I forgotten I ever had.
This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen ! I would not want to leave!!!
Fantastic , A big kids dream when you grew up with Matchbox, Thanks for the memories !!!
Oh wow that place is amazing.

Same here. I just started collecting again with my son, but we are no longer living in NJ. Wish I knew about this before.

I think I had that rescue 911 ambulance.... Haven't thought about it in ages and seeing now just brought up nostalgia feels.... weird... lol
Wow my dream home! And my dream collection!!!!!!
That place is amazing . Never knew there were rescue 911 versions

Oh my word, monsters in my pocket! I had a bunch of those!
Loved seeing this museum! Never knew it existed and I'm so happy Everett Marshall created it for all to see. 👍👍
LEGIT cannot express how happy I am to SEE you doing these videos!! LOVE YOU BOGGIE!!
My god, I never knew this existed! I’m totally going to go now thanks boogie!
Very cool! Really enjoyed this video. Never knew this place existed.
Great video brings back so many memories
Awesome place.
Great video.
Ive lived in New Jersey for 25 years and never knew this existed. I might have to go check this out! So cool
That is very cool place with all those matchbox cars very hugh collection. I use to order from them back in 1997 I knew the bill that work there
As a kid, I had an entire tote filled with these. Loved playing with them.
I never knew that place existed and it's close enough for me to go to sometime. Thanks Boogie!
The plastic cars are like oversized models. They're the original sculpt, usually only a few are made. It's to test to make sure everything looks and works correctly.
I never thought matchbox cars would be so Interesting. Thank you Boogie, for opening me up to something new.
BOOGIE you sound so HAPPY! Your re-brand is paying off!
very happy you went to nj. there is so much history and amazing places in nj. Skylands Manor botanical gardens. long pond iron mines ringwood Manor all within 5 miles in North Jersey amazing if you ever venture back all 40 mins north of Newark air port
They are large scale prototypes. I had the rocket matchbox truck
Thanks for the video. This is on my list next time I'm over there. So great to see the items Matchbox has done.
Mind blowing collection!!
The matchbox 75 wall you showed wasnt made in 75. If you look, there are new car models there. Like a late 2000's mustang
Boogie if you go to Cleveland Ohio The Christmas Story house is there and I think you might like it and also they do tours
That is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. I live near Cleveland (as well if you do Zombrex) and can absolutely attest to it being pretty awesome if you like that movie at all. They even have actors and crew from the film there sometimes. They were going to tear it down at one point. I still want to save the money to bid on staying overnight in the house on Christmas Eve.
This is my heaven 😍😍😍
That is crazy. I did not know this existed. So cool
Pura vida Boggie amazing collection

You could use them as a really bad rubber that smudged things everywhere. Rubbers being the proper word for square/rectangle things that rub out pencil marks on paper.
When I was little I was obsessed with match box cars, did you ever play with them Boggie?
I sure did. Had quite the collection!
Totally Awesome !!
What a great nostalgic trip!
Thanks for taking me on this trip! So cool to see stuff like this from you. I feel like you would love an old aviation museum or something!
Monster in my Pocket! Oh wow... That's what inspired my username decades ago. A green roc, which I did not see that specific one in your video, but it's out there, I have one :)
Grew up in New Jersey =P Great video, was entertaining =)

Chris from Missouri
Very nice! I also have my own humble collection
3:28 Those are resin prototypes. They would make accurate scale prototypes later on if it is going to go into production.
I liked seeing all the matchbox cars and I the things I haven’t seen before.

the "set" from 1975 is actually 2004, the "gold set" is the Matchbox 75 Challenge series
Charles found you l once belonged to your collectors club in the 80s how are you doing?
the club is still running
@@56Matchbox Oh, wow. That's great.

Thank you for showing this amazing place. I have always enjoyed looking at unique places and this by far is one I want to go see.
I have many of those Nascar cars. Great museum.
Great Video Boog. Really enjoyed this one.
The unpainted large cars are samples that they make prior to producing the actual car to see if its something they wanna make.
It's a 75 car collection, not 1975, there where new cars in there lol
Matchbox set out to have 75 models in each release. That was a store display case; the store could replace cars in the "Matchbox 75" case as updates or newer releases came out.

I've been watching you for a decade, great video, those plastic ones might be molds for production
Also the plastic molds would probably be prototype of what they wanted to make the car before actually making the car.
Id guess those oversized solid painted cars are how they make a matchbox car,they make the big one then scale them down in the computer for production?
After that teaser yesterday I couldnt wait for this 😅. I was obsessed with these as a kid.
That's awesome, Boogie! Brings back memories from my childhood
You won't find The Dukes of Hazzard there. That set was made by ERTL not Matchbox.
Boss Hogg's Caddy was my favourite as a kid.
Very cool video. I sense a road trip! Im not an expert, but the sets that say 75 are not from 1975. There was a time when the matchbox lineup consisted of 75 cars in any given year.

So glad you went back. This place is awesome. So many cars I remember from my childhood. Great fun. Cheers.
Was so hoping this would be a matchbox with twenty matches in it that i watch at 3am

items at 3:30 are pattern models - resin 3:1 prototypes
That's a awesome store boogie, thanks for showing us this place, it brings back my childhood. You showed some stuff that I had as a child of the 70's and some car's I still have today 🤙🤙
My kids would have loved this place!!
How can you thumbs down, my only objection was not seeing every car thanks enjoyed the video
So much nostalgia...
i live in South Jersey and never knew this place exist!! I will be driving over to check it out! Thanks Boogie!!!! Love the new channel to by the way!
