Sunday, February 27, 2022 -- Driving Museum model car swap -- Part 6

Tyco Porsche 908 slot car.

The RF wheel/arm broke off on the chassis on this Tyco slot car.
The chassis are common on these, so if a replacement chassis is found, the body can simply be placed on it (no tools required).

Also, the rear wheels are missing the tires.

This Corgi has working steering.
The way it operates is quite unique.
To steer, you rotate the driver right or left!

If you lean the driver toward the right, the steering turns the front wheels to the right...

It's unusual, but nice, to cast in the actual brand's logo into the base of these types of toys.

Six Grand Prix cars.
The one on the bottom was missing it's RF tire.
Found an O-ring that's the right size & fitted it.

Matchbox Ferrari "sharknose" F1 car.
Lost the driver's head...

Matchbox Iso Griffo


This Matchbox GT40 was missing the LF tire.

Used an O-ring to replace the missing tire.
Looks pretty good.

Land Rover Defender.

Matchbox Ferrari 330 GT Lusso.
Nice with the cast spoked wheels.

Matchbox Mercedes Benz Ambulance
