Matchbox Lesney Lincoln Continental Superfast Custom

For this custom, I decided to make a "one-of-none", something that was never made from the factory (to the best of my knowledge), but easily could have been. There were several variations of the #31 Lincoln made, the light teal color, metallic gold, and the darker blue all were made in the regular wheel line, though the gold is quite rare. As far as the Superfasts go, they were only made in gold and the light teal. The teal Superfast is pretty much made from unobtamium, but the gold is pretty common. So I found  a beater gold one on ebay and swapped chassis with a darker blue one from my collection. I think it turned out pretty nice! I've got a nice collection of Lincolns now.

Matchbox Cadillac CTS Wagon Custom

It's been a little while since I've been at the workbench! Been having too much fun working on my 1:1 scale toy.
But this Cadillac is a great casting, and I've been meaning to customize one for a while now! I went for the murdered-out look, and was cautious with the chrome. I think it came out looking pretty sweet.

With some other Caddy's from the collection:

Lesney #55c - Ford Galaxie Police Car Restoration

This was just a quick repaint, nothing too special, but I do like how it came out! I was going for the unmarked "detective car" look. I have misplaced my flash drive that has the "before" pics, but I'll update this post if I can find them haha.

This is a very well done casting from what I consider to be the golden age of Matchbox, the later Regular Wheel era. It's a fairly common casting, and I know I must have 8-10 beater ones laying around. What do you think of my plainclothes special?
