I have a big Matchbox garage separate from my Matchbox house. If it comes down to it, I'll let ya store your Matchbox hearses next to my Matchbox hearses in my Matchbox backyard.

I picked up a white one the other night. Theres some dumb ass on ebay screwing eyelets into them and selling them as christmas tree ordiments and keychains for like 10-15 bucks. He's claiming their handmade and they have rubber tires. It's probably one of you guys haha.

I've seen white ones in the Johnny Lightning "Wicked Wagons" series, but I bought the black one 'cause it's almost exactly like my '68. It's got soft rubber tires on it instead of the Matchbox-type hard ones.
I wonder how many many tries it took 'em to get the eyelet in the right place so it would hang level. heh heh.

I had not even known they had the white ones out until a few days ago. BUT I hit the mother load tonight. I was xmas shopping with a friend at the Stockbridge WalMart and we found 1 white matchbox hearse. I've all but given up on the JL one's. Nobody sells them around here. Anyway, After she left to go home, I went tot he JOnesboro WalMart and found 1 more. Cool I finally found a couple. One the way home I stopped by WM on Panola, can we say grain of salt in a pepper shaker? No white hearses there, except for mine. So I stopped at Wm in Conyers. They NEVER have any. I think I have found 2 black ones there in the past. Went to the toy aisle, none. Well Hell, I'll go home. Behind the Bike display they had a matchbox display set up, about 3' tall, 4' wide. Slap full of Matchbox cars. I went through every one. I found 15 white hearses. Yes 15 I was giddy. So I went to Covington and found another 3.
20 white matchbox hearses in one night. Not a bad haul. I think I have more white ones now than the black ones.

Oh wow, I don't think I've ever seen a big Matchbox display around here -- there's usually just a few pegs of MB's in the stores here. Once in a while there's an endcap with HotWheels or sometimes a huge basket of 'em out in the center aisle... But everybody's stingy with the Matchbox space in these stores near here!
The JL's are hard to find here too, I guess I was just lucky to get the two black ones that I got.
