It has always been fun to compare the span of automotive
design for the same automotive marques. Toy cars allow the collector to
assemble some wonderful side-by-side comparisons. These comparisons are
even better when they are in the same color. The following are some more
of my favorite Matchbox models, matched up
with cars
of the same color.
The cars selected here are just some of the many examples of those that
could be assembled. The Jaguar models in burgandy include the 1997 XK8 Convertible
and the 1990 XJ220. The two Mustang cars 
are the 1966
Shelby GT-350 and the 1994 Convertible. The Lamborghini models are the 1968
Miura and the 1992 Diablo. The
Mercedes Benz models
represent the 1965 190 SL, 1972 350 SL and the 1996 500 SL. Do you know
of more Matchbox 'matched sets' to continue this theme? Send me an e-mail
at seacpn@collegeplan.org if you have any suggestions.
