Matchbox restoration Mercury Park Lane Police Car No 55. Diecast version regular and superfast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- The Mercury police car was produced in the years 1968-1970 by the Lesney company. Today I present two models that I am renovating. The Superfast version lacks two wheels and a warning light on the roof. The lamp was made of resin dyed blue, while the wheels, as usual, were equipped with new axles 0.8 mm thick. I decorated the car body with stickers made like the original ones. I also made boxes in two types, depending on the version. Thank you for watching. I upload movies with the repair of toy cars on RUclips on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
I had to go into hospital after losing the tip of a finger when I was about 5 or 6. My uncle visited and brought me half a dozen Matchbox cars.. Just looking at the artwork on the boxes took me away from that hospital.. Pure magic.. Paul is helping keep those special memories alive..👍
memories are the most important. Best wishes
Paul you are a great Restorat enjoy watching and the Two car are very beautiful. Look like new
Thank you very much Alan
Zwei Fahrzeuge, die schon einige harte Einsätze hinter sich haben. Dank Deiner perfekten Restaurierung können sie nun beide wieder auf Streife gehen.
Eine schöne Arbeit mit sehr guten Ergebnis. Grüße, Joachim
Dwa pojazdy, które miały już za sobą trudne prace. Dzięki doskonałej renowacji oboje mogą ponownie wyruszyć na patrol.
Dobra robota z bardzo dobrymi wynikami. Pozdrawiam, Joachim

Excellent resto paul those boxes look amazing the superfast box is a very early design known as the 1969 box note when you read the baseplate it says no 55 or 73 thats because matchbox made a mercury station wagon in green which is no 73 the bases on the police car and the station wagen are the same size and they both have no 55 or 73 on them probably this was a money saving thing that matchbox did
Thank you very much. It says 55 or 59 on my chassis. I think it was because this model was also used as a fire chief's car. Best wishes
Excellent work! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Arthur
Dwa modele, dwa słowa...
Super zrobione. Od malowania, poprzez nową produkcję części zamiennych, aż do oryginalnego pudełka, z Tobą wszystko jest zawsze w porządku. Ze mnie całkiem wyraźnie widać kciuki za to 👍🏼. Dzięki za podzielenie się moim przyjacielem. Ty i twoja rodzina macie wspaniały tydzień i pozostajecie zdrowi. Witaj, Paul.

Kolejna świetna renowacja. Super wyszło:) Pozdrawiamy Cię serdecznie:)
Dziękuję serdecznie
I assume you do minimal restoration so they match the original factory production and I assume you probably keep them for your own collection my question is do you ever really detail them outside of factory looks? I imagine they would be so beautiful.
I try to gently distinguish them. He uses a clearcoat that the factory has never used. Elements painted silver by the factory I chrome, and besides, I try to stick to the original in terms of color
Ha! I am working on 6 of these myself... A few are fire cheif's and I also have one of the police cars with the blue light :~) Man do I need a few of those beacons (just ordered some led diodes that will hopefully fit), There is also estate versions of these using the same base.
Infact, I have 4 different Matchbox Ford models stripped & primed right now: 14 Galaxies, 6 Mercurys, 4 Lincoln Continentals & 8 Fairlanes... You have done 3 of them in the last week or two... Only need the Fairlane to get your helpful tutorials on all of them :-D
I did the fairline a year ago
Nice. However, could've you mixed the two bodies? At the beginning of the vid, it's the Super fast one that has a huge gap between the body and the base, while the older one is pretty tight and at the end of the vid, it's the opposite.
Thank you very much
MUITO BOM MESMO...!
Muito obrigado
Muito bom! Parabéns.
Muito obrigado Mauricio
Muito bom, parabéns. Abraços.
Muito obrigado
Очень классно получилось!
большое тебе спасибо
Awesome work Paul. Do you sell your restorations?
Yes. Sometimes I make more copies, I can send you details by email. Best wishes
paul.restorer@wp.pl
They both look as good as new, good job there Paul! What do you use for the mold that you drop the blue resin into?
Thank you very much. It is a material that gets soft at 100 degrees Celsius and then hardens. The process can be repeated many times
@@PaulRestorer Cheers Paul. Man, you have all the good stuff :) Just watched your D.I.Y Matchbox Decal video... Are the sheets available for download anywhere? I can't find clear images for even the simplest designs (Fire Chief, police etc.).
Nothing like hitting the Mount Prospect City Police Auction for a bargain. They practically give 'em away!
Cool. Best wishes
How did you tell them apart after painting them also same question for the ambulances.
I did not have to distinguish them at all because the bodies are identical and can be freely changed
49th like, good job!
Thank you very much
Super
Dzięki wielkie
仕上げるとこんなに変わるんですね
どうもありがとうございました
Hallo Mr. King of restoration. Maybe a stupid question, may I buy some plastic spare parts from you? Like a window and blue roof lamp?
Please write me on my email what you need, I will check if I have. I will also give details of how it looks financially
