Just thought I'd post these two, Premiere Series Tahoe, and Matchbox Collectibles Suburban.

Sorry for the poor in package pictures, I was getting alot of glare for some reason, but tried to edit it out somewhat.

Chevy Tahoe, detailed paint, rubber tires, some interior detailing.

Chevy Suburban, special casting with opening doors, detailed paint, rubber tires, maybe a little more interior detailing than the Premiere.

Those are neat - I do have the military police version but not the one that says convoy follows.

Thanks guys,

I wasn't buying much in the premium type Matchbox at the times either of these were out, but I do remember finding both of these on clearance, as I recall they were each half there regular sticker price, I could see remnants of where I removed the clearance stickers, but I left the regular price tags on, :D , funny but I liked to do that so in years to come I'd know what their regular retail was.

I think a lot of the Premiere models in my collection came on clearance at KB Toys stores as they didn't seem to sell that well at the full price. These were from a time when little cars were under a dollar and these were, at the time, what many of us considered the upper limit for price on cars for our collections.

Such as shame that these Matchbox Collectable models were before my time. There are plenty of awesome pieces that I hope to hunt down one day - and I'll need to add the Suburban to my list. Thanks for showing them - a definite drool-worthy piece!
