I remember seeing this display (or a similar one) in 1964 at Northland Mall in Detroit. That memory is seared in my brain as I began my lifelong fascination with Matchbox vehicles. I have a 1963 cardboard display, but would love to have the 1964 display. The D Series boxes are my favorite also. The first model that I remember purchasing was the #33 Ford Zephyr with the spring suspension. Soon after. my dad bought me the #37 Coca-Cola Truck and #47 Ice Cream Truck.
I think I got my first Matchbox in 1963, a military ambulance. In 1965, I joined the Matchbox Collector's Club and received a button and a Ford GT (#41). Since I was living in Okinawa, I had a hard time finding Matchbox cars locally, so I ordered them from New York.
Dave, I was 7 back in 1964, and your display, just brings back so, so many happy memories, living in southern England,my local toy shop,had this same display the price being 2/3d. I think ? The Hoveringham Tipper ,was based on real lorries, that I saw most days, going to and from a local quarry very happy days Merry Christmas to you both..
I remember these! There was one in the basement of the Local J.J. Newberry store and there was one at Santa Claus Land. I could never pass one of these displays without picking out a car.
In 1964 Australia the Matchbox cars were only 29 cents. Even though I was only 4 I remember our newsagents selling Matchbox cars right next the the sales counter.
#57 is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala. A beautiful collection of pristine vehicles.I am curious about the #72 blue tractor.I have 1 with the blue trailer.Is that next years offering? Happy New Year, and thank you for another great year of videos.

That's lovely.
I have an example of virtually all of those models but not in that condition.
Out of sight set you gotta love it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🏻 🎄
