First off, I am NOT an expert when it comes to Matchbox Cars. I am going to divide the vintage cars into Regular wheels and Superfast, with a sub category for transitional wheels, the skinny Superfast tires from the first transition to Superfast wheels that moved later to the wider tires.
I have way more modern cars and honestly I have sold off a ton of these over the years to make room for redline Hot Wheels, but I am starting to rebuild the Matchbox Vintage hoard. I welcome comments! Pleas connect via social media or email me at [email protected]... |
Regular WheelsThe variations are unending! The earliest cars are grey wheels, moving to plastic black wheels in the 60's.

TransitionalOur favorites in the hoard! Thin plastic wheels on these. These were old castings repurposed to compete against Hot Wheels.
