The Matchbox Armored Truck was first released in 1978 and was produced in about 6 different variations. This worn example of the 1979 Wells Fargo version with blue windows and QZ-2031 (barely visible here) on the front fenders is another of my finds from the Paramount Antique Mall.

This is the first of this casting that I’ve added to my collection.
