MATCHBOX Restoration No 42b Studebaker Lark Wagonaire 1965

This Studebaker Lark Wagonaire is what the British call an 'Estate vehicle", the Americans and Australians call it a "Station wagon'. This vehicle is somewhat unusual as it has a rear roof hatch that slides forwards to make the rear compartment open to the elements. Some of these models came out with painted rear hatches and some were plain metal. I restored this one to a plain metal hatch as I assumed that if played with in the future any paint on the sliding hatch would be scored or worn off. I am very pleased with the finished model as it looks in pristine condition nestled in amongst my other models in my glass display cabinet. Under the magnification of the all seeing camera it's flaws are laid bare; but in the real world, it presents as new!! - Another Matchbox Lesney model restored to near new condition.

Your thoroughness in demonstrating both successes and fails is a testament to you as a teacher and one who inspires. Always enjoy the bit of humor you interject.

A lovely simple model. Nothing flashy or fancy, just a typical car like your dad might drive. BareMetalHW did a lovely customization on this model but yours gave it just the right amount of TLC to let the beauty of the original toy shine through. Thanks for another great restoration!

Hi Marty I'm an old ewp teacher (Technical school) To assist starting the tap after drilling set the car body in the drill vice and the tap in the drill chuck turn the chuck by hand for a couple of turns then use the tap handle. another tip never have your hand below the drill because if it brakes you now where it will finish up still its you hand so go for it . Thanks for the videos and I love the comments at the end

@tyler2610 5 лет назад

Marty, I live about 25 mins from South Bend, Indiana where the Studebakers were manufactured for many years. I was a child of the 80's and had hundreds of Matchbox and Hotwheels cars in my collection. They are all long gone now though. I had a friend that his dad let us play with some of his old Matchbox. I remember a Lark wagon very similar to this one with a dog in the back, I also remember the ice cream truck! I am really enjoying your videos and hope you keep cranking them out at a fast rate! I have nearly watched all of them now.

@taraflanagan9567 5 лет назад

Hey Marty, another brilliant video!! Love your work - as always spot on and I actually laugh out loud watching - you must have the same sense of humour as me. My wife always calls out when she hears me laughing and asks what can be so funny about watching a matchbox restoration vid. Looking forward to the next restoration.

Brilliant. As kids we were always fascinated by any opening features, and I remember this one well for the sliding rear roof section.

What's up Marty. Looks awesome, totally agree with the paint thinner being necessary to prevent clumps. I could recommend giving it a quick wet sand and buff job as well, I think it deserves it👌

@kwstasantwniou243 5 лет назад

Nice colour matching,amazing all together Marty!

@tjsogmc 5 лет назад

To color match I've found it to be easier to cut a hole in the sample card and then place it over the object I want to match. It's very easy then to see how close the color is. This way you don't have any distracting patterns, shadows, or other colors to fool the brain.

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

I like your suggestion, thanks for that might give it a go!

The paint turned out so well!

@railtrolley 5 лет назад

Excellent restoration! A repaint and polish makes such a difference to these Matchboxes. I have one as well. Came in a job lot, and was missing the tow hook. Got a repro. plastic towhook for it. The paint is not too bad on mine, so I left it as is for now. I noticed too, while drilling it apart that the rear rivet post is very close to the edge of the sloping tailgate, and does not leave much room to tap a thread for a screw. While I had the interior out, I swapped over the steering wheel to make it right hand drive. Studebakers like this Lark were assembled by AMI (Australian Motor Industries) in Port Melbourne and sold here. It now displays hitched up to a #38 Honda motorcycle and trailer.

Another great job!! I have that model and I believe it came with two dogs and a hunter holding a rifle. Your car looks better then mine. Keep up the GREAT VIEDOS, they help me to remember when I colleted my 75.

@steveb4366 5 лет назад

Suggestion: Look into buying a ‘bottom tap’. Those are designed to tap all the way to the bottom of the hole you drilled. The one you use does NOT tap threads to the bottom of the hole. The one you want has a flat bottom, the one you use has a pointy bottom.

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

Good info Steve - I will do some more homework!

@plaws0 5 лет назад

Best yet. Nicely done. Love the color and appreciate the detail you paint in. Easy to forget these are 1/64th when watching on the 42" Sony. Also, you are crazy as a bedbug! BE CAREFUL WITH KNIVES!!! :-D

@tjsogmc 5 лет назад

Excellent work! Thank you for sharing. Your vids have inspired me to try my hand at restoring an old matchbox. I ordered one off Ebay (a 1970 Dodge Charger Mk3) and I can't wait until it shows up in the mailbox. I've got all my materials from other modeling projects already, so I'm ready to go once the car arrives. I've done complex models and projects over the years, but I've come to realize that I get far more satisfaction from the simple ones that only take a day or so to complete. With luck, restoring Matchboxes will satisfy my "busy hands" . And it's not very expensive since most cars can be had for around $5 and a few bucks for paint + a couple of hours. Again, thank you for sharing and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

@maxnoerenberg6370 5 лет назад

i always love that you include a screw when drilling out the rivet.....for future maintenance...usually those toys are just riveted shut and when broken you have to shug it. Love the idea of future use.........recycling as it should be!!!

@janskeet1382 5 лет назад

Beautifully enunciated. I think that accent is called, “Queensland International“ Nicely done and good to see that you don’t take it all to seriously. Once your sense of humour is drier that a pommies towel, you are true blue.

@Sweed1of3 5 лет назад

@AwesomeFantasyXI 5 лет назад

That trick you did to the tow hitch is the same thing my uncle used to do. But he did it on motorcycles! One day, many years ago, he got a sports bike (CBR or something like that) and all the panels were broken. He managed to fix it with the same method you used and it looked new at the end of it!

@rogersmith9808 5 лет назад

Yet another great resto. from "Mr. Matchbox"!! 😉 👏. As someone who is apparently open to suggestions... might I suggest that you save both time and potential damage by foregoing the tap process and just drill the holes and use a suitable self-tapping screw. I mean, it's not like these cars are likely to be disassembled again and even if they are... a self-tapper will still allow easy access. Just a thought! Keep bringing these little chunks of "rusty gold" back to life!! 👍

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

That is an amazing idea!!! - Thanks so much Roger, I shall be sourcing some self tappers as soon as I find some that are suitable! :) Could save me some heartache!

@ianmacreth7906 5 лет назад

Marty, I'm a seventy year old Yank who used to collect the Lesney / Matchbox vehicles when I was a kid. Sometimes I would take them apart and repaint them with Testor's spray enamel; and sometimes, I would remove the body of some one of them and mount them on an HO scale electric model chassis and use them on a race track. Due to the weight of the diecast bodies, they weren't very fast, but they sure looked cool. This wasn't an original idea in my part, I read about how to do this in a magazine devoted to HO scale cars. There was one truck which I believe was called a Delivery Lorry, it was a deep maroon in color, it was my favorite. Thanks for your videos, I will get to all of them Roy

@shawnstrode3825 5 лет назад

Enjoy the videos even though I'm on the other side of the world. Here in Michigan we do some manufacturing. I noticed your tapping process. With a simple piece of angle iron you make a centering fixture. If put a wide rubber band around the lower part of the fixture it will cushion the part. Place car in the vice with the angle iron to locate hole. Just drill a hole at the common location. If there are multiples, make several holes. This should aid in a straight drilling process.

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 5 лет назад

Thanks Shawn but leaning towards self tapping screws from now on in!
