Ford Model A Matchbox 1970 Models of Yeasteryear 1:64 W-H-SMITH & SON Loose

The 1:64 metal diecast model Ford Model A represents a small delivery vehicle styled as a pre-war utility car. The body is finished in an intense red, while the wings and roof are black, clearly emphasising the model's classic proportions. At the front, the chrome grille and headlights are visible, while the sides feature the W-H-SMITH & SON advertising print, the most important decorative element of this example. The construction combines a metal body with plastic parts and retains a length of approximately 86 mm. The model dates from 1970, was made in Macau and belongs to the Models of Yeasteryear series. The example is offered loose, with typical signs of use, but still presents the characteristic shape of the Ford Model A and the period style of advertising on a delivery vehicle.

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.
