@david-green I have always liked this one a lot as it is very accurately detailed for a child's toy.

I have these two as well. The blue one fetches big bucks now I see.

31-A, American Station Wagon, 1/75 scale. Introduced 1957, discontinued 1960. This came in yellow only with black base starting with metal wheels, changing to grey plastic. No windows!
The "American Ford Station Wagon" is a model of a 1956 Ford Country Sedan. Despite the Country Sedan name given to the car by the Ford Motor Company, it is a 4-door wagon. It was offered alongside the Ranch Wagon, Custom Ranch Wagon, Parklane (all 2-door wagons) and a slightly higher-end model, the Country Squire, which is a 4-door 'woody' wagon.
31-B, American Station Wagon, 1/75 scale. Introduced 1960, discontinued 1963 is virtually the same model with very slight casting variations.
This one has windows. Initially in yellow, it shortly changed to two tone green and pink. This came with black or red base.

These two were my #1 favorites as a child and I have a bunch of them today.

From the front, the green one looks like a 1959 Ford. I do not remember these. If I had seen them back in the late 1950s or early 1960s, I probably would have bought them.

33-A, Ford Zodiac Mk II, 1/71 scale. Introduced 1957, discontinued 1962.
This one went through 4 colour changes. 1957-58 was dark green followed by blue in 1959. I don't show the blue here.
Sea green followed in 1960 and finally a two-tone silver and orange for 1961-2.

This was one that I cherished back in the day. I have these three but have never even seen the blue one.

33-C, Lamborghini Miura, 1/62 scale. Introduced 1969, discontinued 1972.
This is a scarce model with regular wheels as it changed late in 1969 to speedwheels. It was initially issued in yellow with red interior, quickly changing to white interior and shortly after that to a gold exterior.
First issue.
2nd Issue.
Speedwheel issue. This issue briefly came with red interior but was mostly sold with white interior.

This is one I have never had. I wasn't aware the gold version had ever been done.
