Odd that many of the reliefs on the HW case appear to actually be Matchbox models. I know that Ford is (bottom right corner of case), the one above it is the Willys, and I believe the Mustang and Chevy next to the Mustang are too.

Great finds! No, the Heavy Chevy is not missing its hood (well, it technically is), as it was made that way.


What's the writing on the school bus's roof?

Indeed, that is a great find. And the hood is supposed to be missing on all the Spoilers series castings, so yours is as it should be.

You did good.

Yes, that's a Motor Max. The windshield is pushed down and it's obviously got wear, but that's what it is.

I would leave the Makos wheels as is! Thanks for the close ups, though!

The transitional card bus and Heavy Chevy are two greeat finds.

I like the case with relief as well.

Decapitated Snoopy. :(

I'm assuming there's a copy of Parsec in there. I'm pretty sure that was a legal requirement for owning a 99/4a. Hunt the Wumpus was a close second.

Yeah I was going to say I remember these in the early 70s when I collected them. A lot of cars had the no hood.
