MATCHBOX Restoration No 21c Commer Bottle Float 1961

I picked this Matchbox milk float up from the Belmont Market in Geelong for $6 AU. I had one of these when I was a kid, and it was on my 'must have' list. I was so happy when I saw it I would have paid double the price! - I printed over 50 decals for this project but was never fully happy with the final choice. Not only that, but I had to redo the whole thing from scratch when I applied some decals and then damaged the paint whilst taking them off!

Beautiful restoration Marty. Love the newspaper clipping in paint booth, "Man's 174-mph sneeze blows wife's hair off!" Hysterical!

What fun to see a freshly restored milk truck. I had one as a kid, and recently acquired one to add to my collection. I’m old enough to remember the milkman delivering our milk in glass bottles using a wire basket. Mom would bring out the empties and bring in the new ones.

Hi Marty, Another great restoration. ..I too was born in 1962 & remember milk floats with their milkmen delivering the early morning milk to your door..Red top, Silver top & the full cream Gold topped foil capped bottles, The term milk float was usually referring to electric purpose built vehicles that used to float along quietly at dawn so as not to wake up the neighbourhood. This commercial vehicle had a normal engine & would have been used for delivering milk to more rural homes that had a distance not suited to electric floats. Keep up the good work, Kevin was great..

Laying down some great memories watching him crack up about your wife's toothbrush and Kevin the koala and all the other jokes you slip in. I also enjoy the nostalgia of seeing you give these old beauties new life. (I also had this milk truck as a child. :-)). Thanks for your great videos!

HI Marty. I still have over a hundred Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars and trucks my brother and I had when we were kids, and they're stored in blue Matchbox carry cases in the bottom of my hall closet. This video came up in my feed today and I recognized the milk bottle truck right away. I remember it was the pale green, however for some reason I painted in a dark green metallic colour. Great work on the restoration. Thanks again.
