Matchbox die-cast metal vehicles took on a new look in 1969 with the introduction of the Superfast line. In this newly revised edition, Charlie Mack has compiled accurate text with clear color illustrations of the toys to identify all of the many variations.
This, as are the author's other works, is a standard listing and illustrated collector's aid. It covers models from the period when Matchbox began to produce die cast vehicles in consistent compatible scales such as 1:43, 1:50, etc.; the earlier models were more of a toy character and were made to fit the box. :0)
A great guide to superfast.
