The original wind screen for the MG seems to have slipped into the bonnet. It seems to be complete but won't fit out past the driver. (Note the wind screen peeping out from under the drivers left elbow.)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to slip it out and reinstall it?

And finally the Matchbox:

This 59c Gallexy Fire Chief is common as dirt but it's missing its glazing and lantern.

On closer inspection, it looks like the glazing rivet was not spun or spread. The paint and base rivets look to be in good shape. Does this look like an oops or do you think the glazing was removed after it left the factory?

Hi Kurt,
to me it Looks like a oops-model.
I like your Imperial Police car. Nice model and worth half a bottle nail polish remover if you didn´t get Problems with your wife now.

I've cleaned up the 15a Diamond T prime mover.
A few flea bites but not bad for $2 and some nail polish remover.

I am quite pleased with some recent additions over the last two weeks.
The bulldozer, tow truck and pink Cresta come from a Toronto flea market.
The rest are part of a mixed 60+ car lot bought at a local vintage store. Most are upgrades of models I have but the grey wheel Bedford, the #9 Ford GT and the Husky Wagonaire with camera man are all new to my collection.

I like the bulldozer most.

It's great finding new models for your collection Kurt, I do like the tippers with gpw's and the pink Cresta.
