Something a bit different. This is part of the short lived Accessory Pack line. This one being a garage. It is missing the doors but I should be able to find replacements. Or get another. You can never have too many garages for your Matchbox fleet. The missing doors are gray and are double doors. Not the big pull up door.
As these were made from 1958-1963 they were made for the smaller models of that time. The Austin A50 is inside. I don't the models from the late 1960s would fit. It is a bit less than 3" long. The 1955 Crown Vic I posted last week does not fit. It isn't a Matchbox but similar in size.
Note it has windows so you can see the model parked inside. Stand alone garages are not seen often anymore. There are a few around here like that are built into the mountainside. They are rather small and made for Model T sized cars.
Next week an exciting tractor!
Awesome!! I never knew there was a garage accessory ever made. You have the coolest toys!!
MAN! That is so cool!
I've never seen one of these before.
I don't remember seeing it on the checklists they had in the stores next to the Matchbox displays back in the early-to-mid-'60s.
...or anywhere else, for that matter.
Thank you very much jscott. I do have a few toys.
Thank you very much Retrofutura. It was only in th early catalogs. You would love one of the Gas Stations I have.
