I love browsing old magazine scans and when it is a combination of retro toys and cars if is just that bit more special. The toys in question are the Matchbox cars which I am sure many of you will have collected. The superb illustration above and the super sweet Ford GT below is a just a sample of the delights in the 1969 Matchbox Collector’s Catalog.

Action movies without a car scene just does not seem right and there has been some great cars in many movies going back over the decades. Cars.com have put together a list, with the help or their readers, of the Top 10 Most Memorable Movie Cars. Most the cars in the list are classic cars with the only non retro car being a remake of a classic… I am sure you can guess what car I am talking about. I have to say I agree with the No.1 car. There has never been a car I wanted so bad… but how comes no batmobile???

Its interesting to see a top list of retro cars by someone who has known about cars longer than myself. I say this because I have not actually come across some of these cars before, such as the 1971 Opel GT, and some of them do look quite incridble considering their age. Check out the Retro Thing’s Top 20 Retro Cars list.
