I know that flickr is full of purists who won't touch Photoshop but I'm not one of them. I love manipulation, distortion and whatever else.

Like pretty much all vintage diecasts made from the 1960's onwards from Matchbox, Lledo, Corgi and High Speed etc...their values today remain extremely low. A combination of oversupply and a generation of collectors who can't relate to such a long gone era means nobody is ever going to make their fortune by selling them! The Matchbox Ford Model A first arrived back in the late 1970's and very quickly became their staple casting for masses and masses of different promotional liveries as well as the usual standard issues.
Charming for their era but virtually ignored now, the one particular recolour most people in the U.K. will remember is the one given away with Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Send a few tokens from the back of the package and you could own your own little example. I imagine multiple thousands were produced and thus remains very common in mint and boxed condition.
This example dates from my early childhood thus is in, shock horror, play worn condition. Its paper stickers have all but gone and part of its front bumper is missing but what a wonderful memory cue of times gone by before bills and mortgages!
Here are some photographs of Candice. She is a model I photographed in Las Vegas, Nevada. February 2013.
