a Jeep in Church Clothing

And here I thought that I was the only collector on this Forum that had one of these. I had the black one.

HAD ? ...........wha` happened to it?

@john-barry 

• Sold almost every 1/18 model I had.  I was wasting $ by storing them. I got 'lucky' and one buyer took 'em all. I've only kept a few, especially the ones I'm still customizing.
• Do you have that 1/18 Matchbox 2 seater 'dune buggy' type model ? It's red. I don't remember if it has a top or if it's an open model.

Found it on da bay. It's marketed as a Jeepster.

It's red with a silver 'top'. Quite a handsome little devil. Not sure if there is a 1:1 or just a concept model. They're only asking 22$

 I thought it might be rare. The Liberty's are asking over 100$.

@100ford2003 ............this one ?

 I don`t have it Steve....my scant few 18`s are all purchases of opportunity.....my two Jeeps were right at 25.00/ea

@john-barry  

Yep, that's the one. It's a really good-looking model IMO.

......Matchbox Collectibles 1/18 Jeep Liberty paired with a Motor City Classics Horse Trailer

Very nice ! These two look great together. Matchbox did some terrific 1/18ths.

Steve, I used to have that Matchbox Jeepster. It was a very cool concept model but I had to downsize during a move. I wish I could have kept all the models I ever had, but it's not really possible given space limitations and packing/moving hassles.

thanks Mike.....my 8 or 10 pieces always seem to love the camera

....I always dismissed these 1/18 Matchbox models because they're under-scaled. In fact, I could rarely find what scale they were, but your Jeep Liberty looks about right John. 🤔 🤔 🤔

Scale ????? "We don` nee` no stinkin` SCALE!" ....

.......the mystery of the Matchbox scaling system is a closely guarded company secret....I used to compare lengths of the "bigger than a matchbox cars" to the published data for the one-to-ones.....and now,for the most part,I just try to find people who seem like reasonably sized passengers,and go from there for photo-shoots

@john-barry 

Well, since you put it like that.... 😀 😀 😀 

@mikedetorrice 

Been there and done that too.
