Look at real car first. A mass transport, every day 4 door sedan, no head turner really and discarded when cost of repair exceeds value.
It's the Chevy Impala I'm talking about. Entered the matchbox world in 1999 according to the base.
The model is as bland as the real car and the only reason I bought it is, because it is a police car.
But wait and look , Matchbox had the ability, to turn this ugly duckling into a collectible beauty. Add details, extra tempa and rubber tires and voila - off to the display cabinet where it still looks excellent next to today's beefed up special series models.
So what's the conclusion?
There are so many models from the past 15-20 years that would have deserved an extra treatment with added details, but for whatever reason, never received it. Too bad MB never took advantage of all the potential they had/have.
