Here are some quick phone-camera snaps of the Matchbox 1964 Jeep Gladiator in approximately 1/64 scale. This also had spring-loaded front wheels. Jeep was a client of the exhibit company my Dad was with and he gave this one to me after it had been used in the presentation model of the auto show exhibit being prepared for them.
I like this one; that suspension set-up is pretty cool. Gotta love that this was used to lay-out a 1:1 auto show display! 👍
Lol, a real model being used to help display the actual auto show exhibit being planned ! I also have some other ones like a Matchbox British Vauxhall station wagon that was used as a stand-in for a large exhibit presentation model and quickly re-painted red to play it's tiny model part.
