The Matchbox Peterbilt Conventional Tractor was first released in 1982 and was produced in about 10 different variations. Some of these were packaged individually in the mainline series, while others were packaged with trailers and included in the Convoy series. This black model with white and red ACE graphics, another of my finds from Lamont’s Childhood Collection, is an early, England-cast release.
The only other Matchbox Peterbilt Conventional that I have in my collection is a Macau-cast tractor in the 1985 Convoy series NASA Tracking Vehicle. I also have a Space Shuttle-themed Matchbox Peterbilt Tanker, which is a related casting.
