I love seeing these old display cases, it would be nice to see some photos when you get it populated with models.

Kevin,
I noticed in the catalog picture you posted that the Dodge wrecker seems to be the "reverse painted" model.

Bob,
Congrats on finding that great looking Dealer Display case. It is a very unusual Display case relative to most other Matchbox Dealer Displays and VERY hard to find.
I think a special thanks to your wife is in order!
Please post pics when Display is complete and filled with models-- it will look great.
Well done!
Bill

I will post some pictures when I get it cleaned up and some new glass in it, and of course I will fill it with as many models that I have from the era of the Display. Maybe I can get my wife to buy me the models that I don't have, since she made me buy the Display in the first place!

I wouldn't push your luck otherwise that display may end up in the backyard

That's probably not the only thing that would end up in the backyard.

Well I got the Display finished, all cleaned and new glass made. I filled it with models, some of which are very nice, and some that aren't so nice. I told my wife she needs to buy me some better models to replace the ones that aren't in the best condition. I tried to fill it with as many models that I had from the 1966 Model Chart.
