Presentation of Matchbox 1968 all diecast car models

I present all models for sale in 1968. I received this gift from a friend from Kentucky. In Poland in the 1960s-1970s it was completely impossible to get it. Please note the prices in those days.

I still have a Matchbox R1 and R3 roadway playmats packed away in he loft. Had them since 1972.

[@PaulRestorer]

you are a lucky person. Best regards

[@GuzziIan]

Thanks for sharing the catalogue. Great to see the many I had when I was a child. I still have a lot of them .

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@RufusT9]

Had so many of these, and the Matchbox motorway set, which I won in a competition in 1971 with two cases of Matchbox cars. The Motorway used motor driven springs, & was more fun than a scalextric I reckoned. Having seen your videos and how well you can restore these cars, wish now I hadn't donated it all to a charity shop

[@PaulRestorer]

thank you and best regards

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

I had the Motorway - I remember the springs made a hell of a racket. You could convert almost any Matchbox car to run on it by fixing a "drive pin" underneath to engage with the spring.

[@matchboxmark8191]

Wow the best castings ever thanks for sharing my friend! I'm so blessed to have had these as a kid ! I was 1 Haha

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@gordontaylor3489]

I used to get a Matchbox car every year round about Bonfire night as I didn't like fireworks. Looking at the 1968 catalogue, I'm shouting out, "I had that one, and that, and that" everytime I saw a model I owned. Like your other viewers, I wish I hadn't given mine to my nephew's.

[@PaulRestorer]

I also gave my cousin once and now I'm making up for the losses. Best wishes

[@jakerademacher4258]

Thank You Paul, very enjoyable video, a walk through history, stay safe 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☮️

[@TheWamda]

Hi matchbox guys. Do you already have face masks? No sewing machine needed. The mask can be sewn by hand from a paper towel or non-woven fabric. Instructions for me - welcome.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you wery much

[@petuniagto]

Thanks for sharing Paul😁

[@railtrolley]

Nice one. These catalogues are a treasure trove. The colourful artwork is superb too. 1968: the last year of Regular Wheels? Some of the colours in the catalog art are different from the models as sold. eg: the 58 DAF girder truck is gold, as sold was white. And the what would become the 47 DAF container truck has a blue container, as sold it was yellow. I have repainted a few models in catalogue colours. Adds a variation, if not "official".

[@PaulRestorer]

It seems to me that the last year of production of regular Wheels was 69. Of course, you are right I have not encountered such color versions of the models as presented in the catalog. Best wishes

[@railtrolley]

@@PaulRestorer Matchbox took their time to change over to the full range being Superfast. I have a 1971 catalogue of the 1/75 range. The 42 Iron Fairy crane, and 68 Combine Harvester still have Regular Wheels.

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool. I have never seen this catalog. Best wishes

[@TheQuirkyGarage1999]

Lovely piece of matchbox history 😉

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@lrg3834]

The glory days of Matchbox. Personally, I prefer the original wheels to the Superfast counterparts.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@2H80vids]

I think just about everyone does; Superfast wheels was the beginning of the end of Matchbox.

Thanks for sharing this Paul....this was even more nostalgic for me than your restorations. Loved these catalogues as a kid...I've still got the 1968 catalogue but it isn't in a very good condition. Keep up the good work mate...love your videos. All the best and stay safe in these uncertain times 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much. Take care too. Greetings from Poland

nostalgic. As a child, I received Japanese catalogs from 1968 and 1969 at a nearby toy store.
Many matchboxes have been imported to Japan.

1968 the prices were very expensive.
On that the average income was in around 6/7 k per year.
And some in the UK were on a lot less.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@denegillespie5767]

So many lovely boyhood memories brought back. Have to say though, when they started doing the Superfast wheels I started losing interest in Matchbox

[@PaulRestorer]

Memories are the most important. I agree with you that matchbox in the 70s did too futuristic models which was not approved by the fans. Best wishes

Is there a page where I can buy some restored cars? I am sure I have a box somewhere in the UK house - how best, if rediscovered, to consider restoring ?

The page is gone. However, if you are interested in something, I give you my email. Some models are double. Best wishes
