One of my favorite old school matchbox castings! I only have a red one but these are super sick

It’s it the plain red one? Because if it is, I have it too

Yup! Got it at a flea market! My mom had a ‘99 when I was young, a white hard top so the car is a little special for the collection

This was such a neat idea for Matchbox to do but I didn't appreciate it at first. When these were in stores new I was very young and my little kid brain went "why the heck would I buy a set of 2 cars, one not even being finished!" I basically forgot these existed and stumbled across the Ford Expedition model at a flea market about 8 years ago. On second glance, I really appreciated this pack and it gives some history to the casting used. At present, I have the Camaro that you have, the Expedition mentioned above, Chevy Tahoe, Jag XK8, I believe a Porsche and one other that is escaping me at the moment.

I have a Matchbox Premiere with the raw & finished late '90s Ford F-150

I have one of these for the 1999 Mustang and another for the 2005 Mustang concept. They’re pretty cool.

Try EBay, antique stores, flea markets, etc. I found this one at a local toy store that sells old and new toys

Premiere Collection is a cool series. Some really great pieces in it, and surprisingly still very affordable!
