MATCHBOX Restoration 50A Commer Pickup 1958

- This seemed a simple model, but with its two tone colour scheme it proved to be quite a handful. After multiple failures I got there in the end and this little model is now a welcome addition to my matchbox original series collection.
Was a busy week so this video came out a day later than normal, apologies to all my regular viewers, I hope you can understand.

The early Matchbox cars and trucks had a charm of their own and I still think they are the best ones. The restoration was just perfect and the model looks brand new. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this tutorial. It was great!
That's a good looking pick-up. Thanks for making these videos, my daughter and I watch them before she goes to bed and she always looks forward to them.
Well worth the wait even if a day late. I too love the original models. Plain and simple and with no "gimmicks" of the later models. This gives them a charm all to themselves and really, to their young owners, did it matter if it had no interior? No, it was loved just the same.
Marty, you did a splendid job on the restoration. It looks factory new and now has a special place in your collection.
Ahhh the outtakes are always worth a giggle. I imagine there'd be a few "MF's" flying if I was doing work that small and stuff went flying. Beautiful restoration keep them coming Marty. Cheers!
You always do a fantastic job! I enjoy visiting antique stores and now look for older matchbox models with a different eye! Hahaha!
Ahh back to the real restos!! Job very well done Marty. Now time to do some of the nearly destroyed models. Love watching you take jink and turn it into treasure!!
I love the lines of the truck. Plus those Black Eyed Ghost Children remind me so much of the Bat Boy from the good ol' Weekly World News days.
Very nice restoration of that old and simple cute little toycar. Looks beautiful.
Love the out takes! A very simple model by Matchbox compared to what followed. Makes you appreciate their continuing efforts.
Great again and also the Daily Star news in the background🤣😂😅😁👍🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁. You're an artist Marty. Thank you for this. Best C...
The weekend's not complete without a Marty video. 😊👍
Excellent Marty. Lots of back to basics tips. Especially the clear coat to stop paint bleed. Top draw again 😎
Hi Marty, love the 'back-to-basics' videos. Another winner. Used to drive one of these with the Co-op, delivering goods.
Thanks for the tip with the clear coat and the masking tape, Good job.
Hello Marty, first off, before I forget, congratulations on the successful auction of the “pink” bus. You raised a very substantial sum. You’re are a good man, Marty. Also thanks to all the You Tubers who participated in the challenge. Well done, all involved. In regards today’s makeover. I love the original Matchbox vehicles. You did a great job on this two tone truck. Thanks for all your efforts. See ya mid week for another unboxing. Bye.
Thank you
Have always loved your explanations in your restorations,straight to the point and a great tutorial guide. Also you may wish to consider heating rusty axles with metal wheels with your mini blow torch thus avoiding collateral damage to wheels. It should help ease off the jammed wheels.
Just been looking at some of your older videos and really wanted to thank you for the tip on preventing bleeding of paint on two tones. What a great and simple little trick that produces great results. This was a really nice restoration and the time you spent mixing the right grey colour was well spent as it looks spot on. Excellent job all round, thanks for the video.
Marty, great job.glad you kept the model in the original colours, and only used towards the end of the models production,and there for a scarcer variation
Noticed what the new camera provides, improved clarity & depth of color. I like that.
Love that two tone paint job! A nice simple little matchbox.
110% video marty an absolute treasure stunning model and i agree entirely with your view of the early models they really define true matchbox quality 🚓🚗🚑🚒🚐🚖🚕
I agree with you 100% Marty you can't beat the classics. She turned out beautiful reminds me of my dads old 56 hillman minx.👍
Kevin gave this model the respect it deserves by not interfering. I bet he'll be back to his tricks next week though.
As "simple" as this model looks, Marty still finds a way to work in a miraculous repair. It wouldn't be a Marty's Makeover without one!
Marty, thanks for including more info about the tools, screws, and products you use. I'm looking to expand my techniques and appreciate it! Funny thing is I have one of those torches here somewhere, but have yet to make any creme brulee so it may need to be repurposed! 😄
Truck turned out beautiful I like the headlines on the star rag magazine
Definitely the better colour option. Probably has a better finish than when it was new!
You are very patient in your restoring. Good job 👍🏻🇺🇸
Got a bit worried when we didn't see a video Saturday morning so very glad to find all is well and there another fantastic restoration to enjoy. As an aside, my nickname when I was young was Diggers, not because I liked mineral spirits, but because I liked to dig. My parents granted me my own plot next to the rhubarb to indulge this past time. I know for a fact that if anyone was to do an archeological expedition in the back garden of my childhood home they would find a few relics of this type to restore.
That Comer looks 100% better than the before version. Great Job Marty
I agree the older vehicles are the coolest 50's, nice job Marty.
That little two tone ute/pickup truck looks fantastic and the silver sets it all off perfek. Love it Marty, another winner. I think you're right about the classics, they just make you want to pick them up and admire them.
Edit. Just hadda qwik Squizzy Taylor at another two guys that did the same vehicle, I must say Marty the two tone Red and Grey really sets this model off, makes the Bahama Beige look very ordinary, they were nice too, don't get me wrong, but just that little difference sets them poles apart. Wish I could give more likes.
Hello marty i love these original lesney models. they just have such a timeless appeal to them and make for the best make overs in my opinion. Loving the vids marty
Very nice restoration! Thanks for the tip on the clearcoat before the color when taping
Lovely restoration of a neat little truck!
Nice simple makeover, but still a great and enjoyable video. 👍🙂
I like this model too. Awesome restoration , Marty !!!!!!!
Am I the only one who likes these cars much better BEFORE he restores them? :)
Great video as always! The best bit was when you actually answered a burning question I had! (How to stop two tone leakage) great stuff Marty!
That is a beautiful restoration. Well done.
good job marty turned out very nice
Really nice work. Great effort getting the seized wheels off the axles. The axles really weren't salvageable. A very attractive model in 2 tone. The 'before' was a mess. I wondered why the front end was sagged - until I saw the split in the base was the cause. The brace on the rivet post pushed the broken base metal out. Must have been stepped on. I keep an engineers straight edge 300mm long to check base plates. Many I've found are bent.
Thank you Marty,, another wonderful job!!!!
Using the clear paint to seal between the tape is a brilliant!
Beautiful work as always 👏
Should have chromed the rear bumper since you did the front. Really enjoy your restoration work and the hints. Very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Nice work, Marty! Often it's the things that seems like they're going to be the easiest that end up being the most labor intensive. I don't know why that is sometimes, but I run into it in restoring action figures, drawing and illustrating, and just about everything constructive or creative. What's great though, is that you always feel great when you've final accomplished something that offered up a struggle. Great video as always!
Another fantastic finished vehicle
I do love these older Matchbox cars.
Great job as always!
I love reading your daily star papers. They are too funny.=)
Great restoration also this time Marty! Congratulations.
Found your channel around a week and a half ago. Was so upset when my dad told me all his Matchbox I used to play with as a kid have probably been trashed since my Nan passed away! But have since bought the yellow ford news truck, the silver foood diner (no 74) and starting to spend more money on some soon 😂
Keep at it Marty, you’re entertaining as HECK too 🔥
Absolutely a gem Marty. Great job!!!!
Wow - that came out sweet! Beautiful work.
I think this one is my favorite. Well done!
another ACE Marty...11/10 xx phil from over the pond
Love the outtakes Marty. Nice to know you have a human side too. LOLOLOLOL
Great choice of expletives in the outtakes mate.....
Keep up the good work.
Dave
Very nice restoration it looks awesome 👍👍😊
Only "one thing" from me today...
What a cute Ute!!! 🇦🇺😁😁😁👍🏼 Awesome resto 👍🏼
Love these old beauties👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Have a nice weekend and best regards from Cuxhaven, northern Germany 😁👍🏼
Excellent job!!!.
You make very good again, congratulations from Lambayeque, Peru and I wish you a good sunday with your family and friends more near in Australia.
See you later and I'll wait the next video....😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Very nice restore with painting solutions modelers might have problems with. Marty did not show how he made new axles here but I think previous
Matchbox "a " type restoration videos may have shown how he used nails to do this. Another fantastic job. Happy with this one!😁 I also like the out takes,"Buttafingar!"
Another fantastic video Marty. I missed seeing Kevin, but your bloopers are really funny too. 😂
Marty's Matchbox makeover IT'S Fantastic job Marty's
Nice detective work, turned out great.
Beautiful work Marty! Loved it!
It looks like the split in the baseplate was caused by some poor, unwary dad stepping on it barefoot in the middle of the night, on his way to let the cat out. 😉 Great job on the repair.👍🏻😀
You have amazing color mixing skills! Great job!
Great back to basics video, excellent as usual Marty
Great job Marty... Once again you win... 🐨
Nice job as always, Marty! 👍🙂
Tip: If you use that little meringue blowtorch on the seized wheel axles combo, then apply a penetrating oil - these will come apart almost instantly. 😯
WD-40 is primarily a -W-ater -D-isplacement liquid with some lubricating agents - any real penetrating oil (such as Liquid Wrench) will work better for that purpose.
Best regards from Germany,
Volker
Nicely done, Marty. Nicely done.
Nice restoration Marty , great 👍👌
Another great makeover there Marty..watching your channel has inspired me to start collecting some of the early Matchbox models here. since I wont be doing restorations I've been seeking models in good condition and have a few so far and waiting on a couple more to arrive that I got on Ebay. I'm having fun and enjoying looking for ones I like to slowly build my collection.
Hi Marty! Thanks for sharing this very relaxing & therapeutic 22:48 minutes, I'm happy with that! 😉👍 Remember: sometimes the simple things are the best! Cheers & best regards for you and your family 🤩
Brilliant restoration as normal Marty
Awesome! I love the real old models! As far as the "Super Fasts" ... Well done on the Pink Bus! Of all of the restorations for the challenge, your's went for the most! Well done! Thanks!
Great job Marty! Well done.
I am always in awe of your color mixing. Even when you have a bit of a challenge.
Another great video, I'm loving the bloopers you been putting at the end of your videos, awesome.
Cool little model. Good color scheme.
Hey Marty. Amazing model restoration.
I am from India, and today we are celebrating diwali, so let me extend wishes to you as well.
May the divine light brings you joy, hope, happiness, prosperity and good health.
Happy diwali to you and your family!
Great job Marty, keep up the fantastic work !!
Beautifully done!
BEAUTIFUL JOB MARTY
No faffing about just a great simple makeover Marty, 10/10 😁
The welding was very interesting. It's amazing what can be done these days. Nice to see the classics being restored.
Love how that little truck looked lowered and slammed into the weeds because of that little break. Looks great finished as well. Keep it up!!!
Right. It looked like something a low-rider had thrashed and junked.
Nice restoration as always 👍👍
Yep, whack the paint on is exactly how i used to do it! Obviously dont go stupid with it tho ;-) great job!
Good as new Marty.👌 I love these old Matchbox models. They made great cars, pretty much until Superfast wheels came on the scene; it all seemed to go downhill from there. I recently watched George at "Hodges Hot Wheels and diecast" customise a brand new Matchbox car. Aparently, they have merged with HotWheels but the new model looked about as good quality as the proper old ones - and not a Superfast in sight.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Great job Marty....
Great restoration Marty
Great no thrills resto mate. Reminded me of your earlier videos that encouraged me to start 👍🏼
Wow that gray and red paint line is so crisp! You do amazing work on those little cars.
Wow what a job. Really impressed Marty, the difference is astounding 👍 I'm happy with that.
Lovely paint finish
Awesome model great work Marty
Beautiful job Marty. Yes simple casting with amazing detail and your cool paint job. WELL DONE.
Another brilliant makeover Marty! I'm glad you went for the two-tone model, not because of the extra work involved, but the spectacular end results!
A real nice one mate! :-)
That paint is excellent, it really shines. Restoration success! Thanks for the video.
