First MBX I've bought in a little while, but sadly this 36 Ford just isn't doing it for me; they made the casting too big for its own wheels and it really throws the proportions off. Does Matchbox not use any wheels larger than this? And I guess I expected slightly more detail based on how good they've been lately, but it's really just the grill and the headlight tampos, which ARE nice, but could I get some tail lights? Not even door handles? A little goes a long way on an all-black car like this, but they only went the bare minimum. Not a big fan of the sparkly metallic paint either; they should have gone pure gloss black for an oldie like this.
The old hot wheels 36 Ford was one of my favorites as a kid, and it was also both Dick Tracy and The Green Hornet's car at some point, so I was ready to fall in love with this, but they kinda found a way to fuck up everything just a lil' bit.
