Here's my AOTW. Another old Matchbox car. A Rentaset van made between 1963 and 1968. At least the model. In later years they changed it to say "Radio Rentals".

Well, since we're on diecast or plastic vehicles somewhat, here's one of mine. Got this in a baggie lot at a thrift store a few weeks ago, going to use it with the AHM Helium cars eventually. These trucks came in a 5 pack, not loose, so they're harder to find. I think I have 4 or 5 now. Hotwheels circa 1979.
Actually, the first pic is mine ,the second a scalped photo showing the text better ( not mine ). :)

Thank you. I definitely like the Rentaset van better than the Radio Rentals one. Here's a picture of both of them. Their not mine. I just got it online.
Also, I found this little row boat in the van. I opened the back door and found this.

Update on that row boat. I found that the boat did in fact come from a 45b Ford Corsair which was introduced in 1965. Here's a picture of the Matchbox car.

I'll probably just keep it in case I see an old Matchbox Ford Corsair without the boat on top.

 Back when cars looked cool. Why aren't cars like that now?
