MATCHBOX Restoration 37 Coca Cola lorry

[@Grundag]

Good morning! Thank you for the video rebuild, Mr. Marty. Most folk would not give that poor, beaten up toy a second look but you have polished it up and revealed the Gem that was hidden by the wear of Time.

[@evacole7528]

I dont know if you really understand how much of a difference you make to your fans. You might, but I just wanted to say it just lights up my day when you post a video. Because when life is going badly, I know that if nothing else, I have a Marty video to look forward to. Thank you.

[@TimeRider]

Marty and I did not plan to do the same casting . . . Great minds think alike? I started "baking" paint earlier this year and it works great! Nice job Sir Martin! ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

I know what you mean about baking the paint! - Wished I knew about this earlier. It sure does speed things up and I have also said goodbye to fingerprints on the finished models which always used to p##s me off when viewing the highly magnified final reveal!

[@TimeRider]

@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers A fingerprint led to my purchase of a toaster oven . . . not unlike yours!

[@YourOldUncleNoongah]

Very nice, what a treat to sit back, relax with a cuppa, some mint slice biscuits watch and this vid after a very busy sunday. That orange/red colour really makes the coca-cola signs POP. excellent work Marty.

[@michaelpeel9347]

Another fine rescue restoration. I thought that casting had seen its better days after you stripped it but you proved me wrong, looks like better days are still ahead. Thanks for sharing Mike from Texas,Take Memories,Leave Footprints

[@benb3260]

Its wonderful to see you wearing rubbergloves. Good role model 👍

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

An awful dark gray sunday morning at the northsea-shore. But.... what's that? A new MMM video. Where's my cup of coffee? Yep, I've got it. First a like and now, let's enjoy it.....😁☕ Awesome work, Mate. All three of them turned out brilliant. Once again, well done Marty 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing this little bit of sunshine and best regards to You, Julie and the whole gang behind the camera. And, of course KEVIN🐨 👍👍👍😁

[@paulorth2251]

Nicely done, Sir. The body repair work was very clean indeed.

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

The 'coke powered' belch is the giveaway that Kevin is draining his employee discount to the max! Love these older models, they have a timelessness to them that hints of older days and many owners through several generations.

[@matthijsbouma3393]

Well done, sir. Always a pleasure to see you work your magic.

[@dtgnr69]

Another excellent restoration! That Coke truck is one of my favorites. Glad you rescued it

[@tommybarrett7975]

Fantastic work, your attention to detail is inspiring! Such a simple model but one of the best - their older diecast are so much better...

[@mikaelabowen5781]

This is yet another cracking good restoration, by the way! I remember playing with so many of your subjects as a child and it brings back so many happy memories seeing these models being brought back to good health.

[@lostonwallace1396]

That satin black is such a great looking color for the base! Nice work, Marty!

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Great makeover Marty! Nice work. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@gonefilming2020]

Very nice indeed as the colors match my logo. 😉 Thanx for sharing this, Marty. I am always amazed at your craftmanship! Best regards from Germany, Volker

Nice Job! Good tip with the super glue. Watching from Chicago Illinois USA

Simple but very rewarding restoration. Brilliant makeover Marty 😁

[@wolfgangweimer737]

Very snappy Marty,my grandson would love one of those in his collection as he is quite fond of Coca Cola.

Very nice! Some of your best work yet.

[@chrissharp5073]

Marty having now caught the Matchbox bug the 37a was my very first restoration and boy was it hard getting the paint out from around the tops of the crates but it came good in the end. So thank you for opening up a new and interesting hobby. Now I'm Grasshopper you are Master!

[@manoman0]

Those old Lesney casts, I swear, man, they're beautiful.

[@Nicadeemas]

Aaah! A fresh cup of Coffee and a new Marty video. Life is good

[@wesleyAlan9179]

EXCELLENT JOB MARTY ☆☆☆☆☆

[@jeffbaker2897]

As usual Marty, a very informative restro. Beautifully done Coke Cola truck.

[@triplex86]

Great vid. You must have a sizeable collection of superbly restored models by now. Any chance you could do a video showing them all in your display case - it would be nice to see them all. Just a suggestion.

[@johnpowell239]

Happy memories as I worked for C W S soft drinks in the U K.The little Commer Carrier truck was Ideal for pop delivery door to door. Enjoyed the drive and comfort in the cab.

[@johnlehmeyer8793]

I've been watching your channel for at least three or four years now and I just figured something out you are Kevin! 😁

[@johnkelley9877]

This was another great tutorial! I liked the history of the models and the other two #37's you restored were as good as this one. They all three look like Lesney just made them. There were a lot of very good tips and techniques in this as well and I will certainly watch this again. Thanks for all of your effort in making these tutorials.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

You are welcome John, I am so glad to hear that you get some ideas from my videos.

[@johnkaiser2549]

Very nice Marty! Your strict commitment to original condition is great, I really appreciate it! But every now & then, let yourself get a little crazy & try a custom! I'd love to see where your creativity would go! The "Mr. Bean" car project was equally enjoyable! Thank you for the entertainment! 😊

[@CarloPagan]

Great restoration again this time, Marty! You are the best. But try to do something about Kevin's digestion!

[@markreetz1001]

Another great makeover, Marty. Enjoyed seeing some of your previous work.

[@paulbennell3313]

Lots of pitting to deal with on this seemingly straightforward model. Came out very well in the end. The decals on the sides of the rear looked awkward to do. Proper job!

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Marty...I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now,I think what you do is totally awesome! Thanks! I haven't left a comment since that time you done a,hell, I cant even remember now,lol! Thanks Marty!✌ ...I think it was an old Jaguar..I honestly can't remember, lol!

Well done Marty, an excellent restoration of this very cute little model!!.

[@kjamison5951]

Thanks Marty! I’ve restored both types of this model and they do look superb, just like yours. All that extra work for the sketches is appreciated, the restoration is hard work enough but to add something extra is going the extra mile!

Marty I really enjoy every video you share, thanks for posting.

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

Thank you Marty for another entertaining video. I enjoy every one and always look forward to them. I would love to see a video tour of your collection. You must have an entire wing of the estate roped off to contain them all.

[@daverage4729]

Lovely stuff! Love seeing the whole range of these trucks. No doubt the model missing the crates has been subject to Koala interference.

[@lisalovesphotography]

My goodness! I have one of these Coca Cola trucks in my closet. I’ve never seen another one. Excellent restoration-I’ll have to dig mine out and see how beat up it is. :)

[@waynetemplar2183]

I love these simple models

[@klandersen42]

I think my brother and I had one of those Coca-Cola trucks. We might have even had both editions but I'm not sure if we had the baseless one or not.

[@JeffsTravels]

The green screening and shadows were better than a lot of movies I've seen.

[@prjndigo]

You should get a cheap tooth cleaning "water pik" and use it like a pressure washer. They're what I would use to "pressure wash" my older models to get the dust off without rubbing!

[@SH-lt3bt]

Isn't it exiting to be the first one to see in the Modell since it was manufactured in England ;-)

[@kathyflorcruz552]

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Looks better than new!

[@lostonwallace1396]

Wow! I would say that you really did a nice job on this model, Marty! I'm especially impressed with all the damage that has been repaired, and I feel like your painting skills have really come a long way since you started these videos! I own one of the 1960 versions of this Coke truck, and since I worked at a Coca-Cola plant as a teenager, I've actually seen one of the 1940s yellow Coca-Cola delivery trucks up close, and they were beauties! I particularly enjoyed seeing all three of your restorations at the end of the video! I don't have one of the '50s unbalanced load Lesney trucks so I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for one of those in the future. A very nice bit of restoration, man!

[@s65amg]

really satisfying!!
