This Chevy was made in the late 70s. The maker was Universal, the Hong Kong-based company that would take over Matchbox in 1982.

Note that while it is a '56 (rather than the more commonly seen 55 and 57) it has the center pillar, a less common body style for toys than the hard top.

Thanks for posting the pic and the info about the car Tone. :thumbsup:

It's nice to see cars that most of us no little or nothing about. This can be a great forum to learn about older diecast cars.

Please post more pics of your cars with a brief description of them.

I think it's time for some restoration. It could look great with a new paint job, some detailing and some new wheels! :thumbsup:
