This British sedan, which I had never heard of at the time, was the first Matchbox I bought. We won't go into how many years ago it was, other than to say I probably bought it with my 25¢ weekly allowance, and had to save for over two weeks to come up with the cash. The original release year was 1958, and the color scheme was a
shade of cream, if you will. Other colors followed, and the one I ended up with was the gold you see in the photo above. —

When I was a youngster, Vauxhall was one of the few imports we saw in Montana. They were sold by Pontiac dealers. Love this blog and look forward to reading many more posts.
ReplyDeleteI was at Ft. Hood, Texas last year and saw a Ford Festiva in town with Montana plates. Can't imagine that long of a drive in a Festiva.
