One of my favorite Matchbox cars is the #42 Studebaker Wagonaire.
In the lot I recieved was the greenish colored one. It is on the left. It isn't perfect but it is the first one for me. I have the wagon withe darker blue slide in my display case.

Support your local demo derby.

The sliding roof on the wagon is one of the coolest features to see in small scale.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
I love the buses! The Wagonaire's aren't bad, either!

Very nice!

I'm a bit more of a bus person in this case too. I haven't seen these early ones very often at all. What are the differences between them? Looks like maybe the front around the grill area?

In the front row starting from the left is 5A London Bus from 1954, 2 inches long, The other 2 are 5B London Bus, 2 1/4", 1957
Back row on the left is 5C London Bus, 2 9/16", 1961
The other 2 on the back row are 5D London bus 2 3/4", 1965. 5D buses were the first Lesney London buses with interiors.
Someone more knowledgable about London Buses could tell you what brand of bus each represents.

A closer look at the first 3:

I recently acquired a red bus with "Long Life" stickers and "BP" logos on each end.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
The buses are awesome, but I love the Studebaker Wagonaires! I didn't know there was a mint green variation!
