ambassador84 OVER 30 MILLION VIEWS. :-) posted a photo:

The gorgeous new Matchbox 1968 Chevrolet C10 was for me one of the highlights of this years Case D and of course we get to see it again in Case E where wisely Matchbox have included two.
A genuinely impressive replica of this late 60's American pick-up which is achingly crisp and squared up from every single angle and featuring very on point detailing to both front and rear.
Mint and boxed.
