Spectacular work, Marty! As for the different brands of toy cars, I don't tune in because of Matchbox. I tune in to see the love and exceptional work you give these models. WELL DONE!

Well done Marty! I suspect most of your viewers would agree with the following: We don't watch your videos for a specific brand of model. We watch for the love, craftsmanship and humor you apply to each and every restoration. Please keep it going and don't fret a bit over who made a particular model, because for the most part that is not relevant! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents with us.

The baggage looks to be a suitcase, ladies' travel case, and a hat box.

Yup, Station Wagons in the USA Marty. It is the first car i was aware of after being born. When my father junked our 1968 Buick Station Wagon, me and my brothers and sisters were so attached to it that we all cried as it was being towed away. We begged my father to bring us to visit it in the junk yard, and every time we went there was less and less of it until one day the man told us it was crushed and sent to Japan to make toasters. lol We were eccentric kids.

My dad had a Zephyr. White with a red interior. No seatbelts and bench seats. We had great fun sliding about in the back as dad would deliberately fishtail to give us a wild ride!

Fantastic video. I've had my Taurus Wagon for 31 years. I love driving it. I love station wagons. I wish they would come back.

@ZGryphon Ай бұрын

They never left, really. It's just that now they're called "crossovers" and have AWD and lousy ride comfort. :)

My father had one of those Zephyr estates in the mid-70s. I had never been a Ford fan but I rather liked it - until it threw a rod two days before Christmas. Thanks for reviving the memory.

@jeffdayman8183 11 ай бұрын

The interior "tub" in the Corgi Zephyr looks like it may be a vacuum formed polystyrene part. Vac forming is used for many packaging plastics and also bigger things like kid's pools and body shells for mobility scooters. The tooling for vac forming is much cheaper than for injection moulding, but the parts need some manual labour cleanup and trimming. Paint looks great, and the weld repair on the chassis was top notch. Liked the Large Rooster beer can! Re the newspaper taxi story - the passenger may have thought the car was a Daewoo Dunny! You never know. 8^) Cheers!

@alka9613 10 ай бұрын

Most definitely a vacuum formed interior. I'm surprised that time hasn't caused it to crack even though it's been so well sealed in. Kudos to Corgi and their quality for that, though we perhaps would miss Marty getting or making a vacuum forming rig and showing us how it's done.

Love it! Corgis were a big part of my childhood. My grandparents would often give me a Corgi vehicle for my birthday or Christmas. My favorites were a hook and ladder fire truck and a tow truck. The working details were so fantastic! Hope to see you do more of them. Nice bonus with the paint shop clip!

@hugobloemers4425 11 ай бұрын

Hi Marty, we (I think I am speaking for most of the audience) do not mind seeing a Corgi restoration. When I was young, I would play also with Corgi cars and really liked them. Even though the vast majority of my car collection where /are Matchboxes.

@CoindoorDave 11 ай бұрын

Always love your posts. I struggle with self-motivation, so you put me in the mind set of working on something other than KZfaq/TikTok 🙂

When I was a kid, Corgi was the expensive brand. I had, and still have, a Corgi tank that I loved. My son played with it and soon my grandkids will.

Marty thank you for bringing back wonderful memories. Your channel, do what you like. It has become more about your art and process than one brand or the other. Likely it is two golf bags, luggage and a hatbox in the back suggesting someone going on holiday.

Well... It's all of our hobby, but it's YOUR show 😉 If you enjoy restoring Corgi, Dinky or other models besides MBs.... (To quote a mate from downunder here...). I'M HAPPY WITH THAT 🤣 Great work, Marty, very elaborate but the result speaks for itself 🤩👍🏼 (It's almost like restoring a real veteran car. Looking for new tyres online, having the paint done by a professional, in a paint shop and even "welding" the chassis... 😉) All in all... JOU (more like WOW) I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 (One for the work and one for why you do it) Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a great week to you, Julie, your four-legged-mates and the whole team behind the scene and stay safe and sound. (Of course, KEVIN 🐨 as well) Keep up the good work, mate 😁 Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

Here in the US, in my childhood in 1960s/early 1970s, we only had Hotwheels, the British companies just weren't found in our stores. I'm always amazed at the variety of vehicles by Matchbox, Corgi and others.

A fun video to watch, Marty. Nice recovery on your hole blowout. I hate when that happens. The car looked great in the end. One tip I learned when masking a paint job, is to take your strips of tape and stick them to your shirt or pants. This makes the tape less sticky and doesn't pull off the paint as much when unmasking.
