I love a vintage Matchbox promotional model

[jimgallegos]

I have about a dozen different ones of these. Love a cool vintage promo.

I think some of those were posted on the old 'Lefora' forum, very nice and rare when complete on untouched blisters with Lozenges.

Very cool Jim! I've never seen this promotional before. When you say you have different ones, you mean they all have assorted models other than the Lincoln?

I like the Ferrari Berlinetta, looks to be the variant with the dark green body which I think looks very nice.

Hi All, there is a friend of mine that only collects promotional models & anything linked with advertisement. He has two bedrooms stacked to the roof with it. He has been collecting for over 50 years. I was amazed at some of the stuff he had brought from matchbox he had never opened. He used to buy two models one for show, one to hide Pete

These are very cool! I've never seen them before.
I recognize Squibb but am not familiar with the Spec-T brand. Was this an English promotion?

Here in the US toys were often used for promotions with breakfast cereals or fast food or even sporting events but I don't remember anything as desirable as a Matchbox being attached to a medical product.
