The Matchbox 20 Chevrolet Taxi was first introduced in 1965 and was ine the line through 1968. Actually I think it was replaced in mid 1969 by the Lamborghini Marzai one of the first Superfast models.
This model had a detailed interior but had no opening doors or hood like models released a year or two later. Still it is finely detailed model.
Lamborghini or chev taxi ten year old kid hmm wunder what he picks lol.
My elder son collected Matchbox cars as a kid. Had a good size collection. Wonder whatever happened to them.......
LOl, I just bought a 96 car matchbox / lesney car lot and the cab is in there, as well as a school bus, a armored car and a few other hmmm classics. Ill post some pictures once I have the lot sorted out. My taxi by the way is nowhere near the condition of yours fortapache. Yours is clean in da box!
I have to love MatchBox. My brother had a ton of them, and I used to play with them too!
Thank you very much Caperkid. Matchbox did quite well with mundane vehicles. That ended when Hot Wheels came out.
Thank you very much NevadaBlades. I still have mine but I didn't keep the boxes.
Thank you very much davekelejian. I would be happy to see your new collection.
No competition then the golden yrs of Match box.
