    I recently found a '59 Chevy wagon Matchbox car. It's red with a canoe and luggage on the roof.
    I'll try to get a pic posted.
    I figured I'd let you guys know in order to keep an eye lookout for one.

    New for 2017. Very cool, and recent addition to my collection as well.

    I found mine at Target...it was the only one there, or else I would have picked up more.

    I found one at O'Reillys Auto parts of all places, while I was checking out.

    Good luck! They've been very hard to find. People are snatching them up.

    I've got one extra, if anyone is interested. If no one cares about the condition of the package, I can ship for cheap. So, we'd be looking at $5 shipped. I take Paypal.

    And, I'm a collector. I'm at Target, Walmart, etc all the time. If there's more interest, I can pick up more, if I see any. I haven't seen any in a few weeks though.

    Know what you mean, as a kid I loved watchin the figure 8 races and derbys now when I see one I cringe thinking about all that lost iron. Still have one buddy into the derbys but he only crashes Mopars... that ought to start something

    The last one I went to was a closer to a weekend campout/swap meet. One garage had a very straight 67' fairlane, not modded for demo, looked pretty original, their reason for smashing it? Too many doors. It was the first one out too. A lot of sad, confused faces in the crowd that night

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I was at Fred Meyer's last night and found the 59 chevy in the matchbox.

    I got two of them. My youngest son wanted one also.

    My oldest son didn't get left out, he got a Hudson Hornet police car.
