Very cool Mathew. I lost my dad in January 2020. I actually got his die cast vehicles. Not as many as yours but enough to a special shelf. I admire them regularly. It's a good memory
Very nice collection, I was always a collector. But my dad had a Franklin mint that I inherited along with my hundreds of my own car collection. Once I do a video you will see awesome story and cars
Cool collection of cars and trucks, i really like those old 50's work trucks with the construction stuff in the back, really awesome. Then that "nomad" was actually just a regular station wagon pretty sure. Nomads have a lower roofline and slanted pillars. Still a cool tri5 wagon👌
That’s a really special collection to have. It’s great seeing how much your dad meant to you. It would take a loonnngggg time, but you could unscrew those and clean them all up. My favorite was probably the SEARS Craftsman Jeep. That was too cool with the landscaping equipment.
I wonder what my kids will do with my collection? I got 30 or more vintage tonka vehicles all mint, about 15 of the scale he is showing, 12 1/18 scale and close to 9 thousand hot wheels, huge box of HO cars and 2 tracks , 10 model cars some built, huge box of nascar stuff a train set about 30 small Harley bikes several collectable bicycles pedal tractors ect, hope they keep some of it.
Mathew, I want to thank you for showing your dad’s collection. That is awesome. I will be turning 74 in October. I remember all those cars and trucks. If that was my collection I would fine a special cabinet clean them up and display them. I really enjoy your channel. It will take me awhile to get through all your videos. I don’t mind though, going through kind of a ruff spot. Found out I have prostate cancer. Going through this journey with a positive attitude and catching up on your videos. Please don’t change your format regardless what some people criticize you for. They don’t know what a honest down to earth person you are. Also want you to know I have been building models since I was 11. Thank You.👍👍👏👏👏👏🤝
Wonderful video. You must clean t5hem and place them in shelfs, a sort of "man cave". It's the best way to preserve your fathers memory and pass the legacy to your kids.
Matt that's so cool you need to find a place to put them up and enjoy them I am sure it would make you happy to be able to look at them plus there were your Dad's it a win win 😁👍👍👍👍
It's really cool that your able to have them.. I didn't get a chance to get anything of my Dad's before or after he passed.. And I wish I did, but we had a difference of opinion many , many years back. And we didn't speak again until 25-26 years later.. And he passed away a year after we started talking to each other again. So it's cool that you have something of his that he really enjoyed.🙏
Oh my those are just fantastic! I recently picked up a collection of over 40 built kits that were wrapped in newspapers from 1980 that had been in an attic for 40 years. I really enjoy digging through old collections like that. It must bring back some beautiful memories for you. Awesome video and thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Die-cast models are pretty cool but I think I like plastic models so much better, but it's pretty awesome to see the things your father collected is awesome, I have a 1953 Studebaker and it's an awesome kit.
Sorry for your loss. I've picked up a few that dusty and the easiest cleanup is just run warm water over em then pat dry with a microfiber towel so they don't sit wet real long. I can tell those will come out like new.
Hi Matt, I enjoyed seeing your daddys cars and trucks. The one 30's truck probably had a floor shift and the other lever was the hand brake. For several years the Buick hood could open from either side. There was a hood release on both sides under the dash. If both releases were pulled the hood could be lifted off the car. I believe Buick stopped that feature in 1952. Also the 1955 Chevy was a sedan delivery rather than a Nomad. I really enjoy the videos and look forward to your next one.
I just started watching your videos today. A good clean up without much trouble would be to use some F-11. I believe that would be a quick clean up with not much trouble or work and I am betting they will really shine.
It's likely that the metal is the reason some of those have paint fracturing. As a collector of 1:24 diecast who participates on hobby forums, many of us have seen this begin to happen on cars we purchased less than 5 years prior. They mixed batches of metal in China that did not meet the correct formula, just using any salvage metals they could find, thinking it didn't matter. But it does. The Buick with side-opening hood actually opens from either side on the 1:1.
Does any of those diecast models companies make 70’s and 80’s full size sedans. Cuz I’m searching for some good models of 70’s and 80’s American cars and trucks in that kinda scale and quality
Cadillac paint is the original color rose.. Is not damaged or discoloured as u said. Therefore, the rest of collection pieces are in a completely different level. A passionate, true collector can afford to pay a mini fortune for that collection..
The Studebaker car at the beginning is a Golden Hawk. The Super Bee has a 440 six pack with the A-12 package the "fiberglass" hood is not supposed to be hinged, it's just held on with those 4 hood pins. The Jolly Good ice cream truck was probably supposed to be a Good Humor Ice Cream truck, but they couldn't/wouldn't pay the licensing fee. On your Jeep bank it looks like the wooden box in the back is hinged at the rear upper panel that probably lifts up to put your life savings in. I have the 41 Plymouth P/U in red and black and the 37 ford P/U in green and also the Wix 40 Ford dirt tracker.
the pickup truck w/2 levers meant it had a 2 speed rear end . if made by Columbia , the early hot rod people loved those and called them Columbia 'fannys' . so far i know most of the cars and trucks , used to go to antique tractor , antique car or antique gas engine shows every weekend in the summer late 60s to mid 70s , my dad raced paved ovals in the early 60s and was a mechanic for a living , so i had a wrench in my hand young .
55 chevy bank may say Nomad but w/out windows in the back it was called a sedan delivery the 40 ford race car is a 39 i think also . the sides of the hood that are off are like a '39 .
last thing a link to the song The Hot Rod Race that mentions a Columbia tranny , the song was the pre-cursor to Hot Rod Lincoln ! th-cam.com/video/OZE5TUAX-ok/w-d-xo.html
the original version of Hot Rod Lincoln also ..... i know i know its a model group not a music one sorry , couldn't help myself th-cam.com/video/e58NJU5B3v8/w-d-xo.html
What looks like poor paint may be the casting cracking due to poor mixing of the alloy, many of the "entry" level Pacific Rim models deteriorate over time with paint failures and thin chrome plating.
That paint damage you're seeing is due to diecast rot. The metal itself is breaking down. I have about a 400 car collection from 1/18 to 1/64. I have many of these same cars in my collection.
I have about 2000 Hot Wheels unopened, About a 100 model kits, That I'll pass down to my grandson and I hope he enjoys them. Of course I told him never to open the Hot Wheels.
Sorry for the loss of your dad 😢. I Love his models. Things that that make life worthwhile 👍
Cool collection. My condolences. Losing a parent is hard! I lost my dad last July.
Your dad was a real colector
You are a lucky guy !
Iiiooooooo99900oooooooooooooooooooooo9o 0:41 😅
Cool cars..
You should make a shelf for them.
👍🏻👍🏻
Your dad had a super collection of die-cast. Looks like they were stored in an attic or garage loft. With a little cleaning they will look sharp
Your Daddy had quite the collection. They would look great cleaned up.
Thanks for sharing some of your dada's collections. Awesome stuff.
Thanks!!
That is a awesome collection....follow your dad's joy and passion...take care of them!"🙂
That's a nice collection I wish I had but I do a lot of nice stuff.
Oh wow, a very special collection to have and be proud of Matthew. 🙂
Very cool Mathew. I lost my dad in January 2020. I actually got his die cast vehicles. Not as many as yours but enough to a special shelf. I admire them regularly. It's a good memory
Very nice video bro....sure felt good walking down memory lane with your dads toys...keep healthy
Very nice collection, I was always a collector. But my dad had a Franklin mint that I inherited along with my hundreds of my own car collection.
Once I do a video you will see
awesome story and cars
Cool!
You've got some rare cars there brother. They really deserve to be cleaned up and put out for show. Thanks for sharing .🙂👍🇨🇦
Lucky to have memories!❤
Cool collection of cars and trucks, i really like those old 50's work trucks with the construction stuff in the back, really awesome. Then that "nomad" was actually just a regular station wagon pretty sure.
Nomads have a lower roofline and slanted pillars.
Still a cool tri5 wagon👌
The 900rd like mine
I appreciated the creativity in this video! It was so enjoyable! 🌟😊
That’s a really special collection to have. It’s great seeing how much your dad meant to you. It would take a loonnngggg time, but you could unscrew those and clean them all up. My favorite was probably the SEARS Craftsman Jeep. That was too cool with the landscaping equipment.
Nice job 😊😊😊
Hopefully you can repaint the ones that have damaged paint ..
I wonder what my kids will do with my collection? I got 30 or more vintage tonka vehicles all mint, about 15 of the scale he is showing, 12 1/18 scale and close to 9 thousand hot wheels, huge box of HO cars and 2 tracks , 10 model cars some built, huge box of nascar stuff a train set about 30 small Harley bikes several collectable bicycles pedal tractors ect, hope they keep some of it.
Wow!!

Very cool collection your dad had good taste in cars 👍🇦🇺
Thanks Al!!
Wow your dad as collected some super cool models..look after them ....
👍🏻👍🏻
Great collection Matthew, love the mention of the Earl Scheib paint job
Scale and Maker mentioned at bottom ?
Earl Shives will paint any car for $29.95. Uh Oh , I think you better get Maaco.
A great collection! Those models deserve to be carefully cleaned and put in a special place in your home.
Clean them with lemon pledge and a soft cloth spray them generously then carefully buff clean
Sweet collection! The ones with failing paint and rust I call character cars. In my collection, I have anything and everything.
👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome collection. Very Cool you have them!!!!! When you get your 2nd container you should make a place to display them. Thanks for sharing
When i kick the bucket , there are going to be happy individuals when they get my stash ! Lol
Die-cast models are pretty cool but I think I like plastic models so much better, but it's pretty awesome to see the things your father collected is awesome, I have a 1953 Studebaker and it's an awesome kit.
Absolutely awesome. Thanks for this video. Aren’t Dads great!!!
Nice cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Amazing collection!
Thanks!!
That’s cool my dad has some model cars he built when he was a kid that I’m gonna restore on my channel
Very cool cars, get em cleaned up and in a display case to honor your pops.
What an awesome video Mathew! Thanks for sharing! Warmed your heart!!
Thanks Billy

I think Jay Leno talked about the Buick hood once. That's how I knew about being hinged on both sides.
Thanks!!
Your dad had a good eye
Cool video Matt, great memories for you, awesome collection!
Awesome collection Matt. The Buicks opened from the side for many years and they would open from either side. Ron
I just started watching your videos today. A good clean up without much trouble would be to use some F-11. I believe that would be a quick clean up with not much trouble or work and I am betting they will really shine.
Thanks for the info!
Great collection 👍
Awesome!!!
I collect diecast cars and that is an awesome collection and i can tell it means alote to you
👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool Matt. Good stuff!
Matt.. I have quite a few of those... ya got some I wouldn't mind having.... they are 32nd scale. Great collection. 👍 👍👍🙏🙏
Matt, I inherited the carbureted sohc, plus a 427 fe, and a hot rod small block Chevy, they shined up great and have a dominant spot on my shelf.
Ive been collecting since my early 20s...how the collection grows
Very cool
Which company made these? I want one, mainly for the engine part ;)
I honestly have no idea.
Awwww ;-;
Sorry to hear about your dad, my dad died on February 27, 2017 a month before my birthday.
Omg those collections was aamzing omgg i hope i can find some of those modelss
I've got the Wix Filters 1/24 Die Cast 56 T Bird and 1/24 66 GT40... both are beautiful models!!
It's likely that the metal is the reason some of those have paint fracturing. As a collector of 1:24 diecast who participates on hobby forums, many of us have seen this begin to happen on cars we purchased less than 5 years prior.

The Buick with side-opening hood actually opens from either side on the 1:1.
5:47 can't believe they used a cheap paint on Cadillac, which is not a car to scorn.
I've got that 69 Super Bee...I believe it's a 1/24..
👍🏻👍🏻
Does any of those diecast models companies make 70’s and 80’s full size sedans. Cuz I’m searching for some good models of 70’s and 80’s American cars and trucks in that kinda scale and quality
I'm not sure honestly.
Cadillac paint is the original color rose..
Is not damaged or discoloured as u said.
Therefore, the rest of collection pieces are in a completely different level.
A passionate, true collector can afford to pay a mini fortune for that collection..
The blue 1955 Chevy bank was called a sedan delivery not a Nomad . You have a very nice collection.
я думаю это не повреждение краски, это повреждение металла (цинка) на некоторых моделях, к сожалению
That other shifter if for the four wheel drive I believe

53 jeep is actually a Willys my Gramp had one with a pick-up bed til the mid 70s

Clean up with soft paint brushes and the F-11 will not show build up in the small cracks.
👍🏻👍🏻
What looks like poor paint may be the casting cracking due to poor mixing of the alloy, many of the "entry" level Pacific
Rim models deteriorate over time with paint failures and thin chrome plating.
Wash and wax those gems, put them in bubble wrap and never let them go. Your dad would want you take good care of them.
Sorry cuz your dad passes away hw will be in our hearts forever and proctect us
Thank you
The Cadillac and Plymouth do not have a paint problem, it's zinc pest. The metal is corroding. They will eventually fall to pieces.
That paint damage you're seeing is due to diecast rot. The metal itself is breaking down. I have about a 400 car collection from 1/18 to 1/64. I have many of these same cars in my collection.
I have about 2000 Hot Wheels unopened, About a 100 model kits, That I'll pass down to my grandson and I hope he enjoys them. Of course I told him never to open the Hot Wheels.
Are going to sell ?
No
It's not a second shifter it's the hand brake
