My Matchbox 1935 Ford Pickup Hot Rod Visits The Tire Shop

I took my latest Matchbox car to the tire store recently.  It's a Matchbox 1935 Ford Pickup Hot Rod.  I took a few photos while getting a tire on my car patched.  As the sun was climbing in the early morning sky, it provided some nice lighting for a couple of quick photos.

While the silhouette in the rising sun conveys a feeling about this model, a photo from home does a little more justice to the details of this miniature masterpiece.  This car model is number 5 out of the 20 cars in the MBX Construction series and number 21 out of 100 for 2019.



At the garage, the tires on display provide an interesting background and automotive theme for photographs.



Of course, with a Matchbox car, it's easier to throw the truck on the back of a tire than to throw a tire in the back of the truck.  What an amazing level of detail!


While this little Matchbox model isn't made to run on any kind of plastic track sets, it does have a mean face to show the world.


This morning sun photo provides enough light and shadow to show even more detail on the cars front end.  I love the drab rat rod style paint color.  I can imagine this car starting out as a barnfind for sure!  This is a well-done Matchbox car!


From any angle, the Matchbox 1935 Ford Pickup is a winning model!
