Great videos of the matchbox factory, to watch how people worked back in the early 60’s.

All women, hum. Just an observation. My cars play with cars just as much as the boys.

And they are all thinking 'these men and their bloody cars, why don't they show the same level of interest in us!'

I had one of these, same color, think it added big value to my collection when I sold it.

When I was growing up, they were building Interstate 79 running through PA. During construction they left a hill of sand about 25 yds by 50 yds at the end of our road. My brothers and I would build cities in the sand for the matchbox's, using flat stones to build roads and parking lots. I'll bet there's 100 matchbox "remains" still in that sand.
