Matchbox Peterbilt Collecting/Restoration’s/Customs

[Lee Drennen]

Last year I started Collecting these Matchbox Peterbilt’s for some odd reason. I had one already that I bought around the year 2008 in Branson Missouri. I plan on restoring some and build some as Customs. If you have any of these little gems please feel free to post them. Here’s a few I have now. The Milk Truck was the one I bought around 2008.

I didn't have enough cash on hand for too many of those little guys so just a couple

Hi Lee
Memories of childhood. One Christmas my dad made me a garage for my toy cars. It was my pride and joy. Sadly I don't know what happened to it.

Definitely bringing back some great childhood memories. There used to be a shop in my home town that had them displayed in the window just tempting that pocket money to be spent

Now that would be nice. I used to make a Work garage out of a old shoe box one time. I used to get a few Matchbox cars for Christmas and my birthday too. Thanks for dropping in and looking Jim

Thanks for stopping by Mick. There were a couple Hobby Shops in St Louis where they would display them with the Boxes in a glass case it was tempting for me too but I bought Plastic Models instead.

Glad to have you John. Everything’s great just taking a break from Plastic Models now.

Put another one on the bench today to Re-Store. Painted it a GM Automotive paint and added some 1/87 decals. More updates later
