1921 Model T Ford Matchbox 1986 Models of Yeasteryear 1:49 Loose

The model is made in approximately 1:49 scale as a metal diecast model with plastic elements. The miniature depicts the delivery version of the 1921 Ford Model T, styled as an advertising vehicle from the early 20th century. The body is mainly green, while the cab is finished in cream and the roof is painted red. The sides feature advertising prints, including the PG Tips marking and a decoration described in the data as 7UP. The contrasting paintwork emphasises the body’s simple, boxy proportions, high cab, short bonnet and utilitarian character. The metal construction gives the model a suitable weight, while the plastic elements complement the undercarriage and equipment details. The length is approximately 8 cm. This example is offered as a loose diecast model in a condition described as loose, with possible signs of storage and previous use.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
