New in box, Matchbox die-cast, made 1999, by Mattel, Inc., in China. It has never been out of the box. Beautiful car, has vintage See's advertising on the sides, "Mail a Box of Christmas Candies Now - See's Candies" shows on the left side. I assume the right side is the same.
I believe the scale is 1:48, as that is what shows for the Matchbox Models of Yesteryear. This is labeled as Matchbox Collectibles.
