Matchbox - 1970 Ford Ranchero - HLC54 - 1:64

The Matchbox 1970 Ford Ranchero combines classic American car styling with the practicality of a pickup. Released in 2023 as number 17/100, this officially licensed miniature features metallic-green bodywork, a fine silver-coloured side stripe and an open rear load bed. This particular version has black tri-spoke wheels with silver-coloured rim rings and comes in illustrated Matchbox 70 Years short-card packaging.

2023 Matchbox Debut Release

This green version marked the 1970 Ford Ranchero’s Matchbox debut in the 2023 basic range. It carries number 17/100 and product reference HLC54. The 1970 date identifies the vehicle represented, not the miniature’s release year.

Officially Licensed Ford Design

Produced under licence from Ford Motor Company, the miniature recreates the Ranchero’s long bonnet, two-door cabin and integrated rear load bed. Sculpted body sides and chrome-coloured bumpers capture its distinctive car-based pickup profile.

Metallic Green with Tri-Spoke Wheels

Metallic-green paint is complemented by a thin silver-coloured side stripe, a highlighted fuel cap and a dark interior. This version features black tri-spoke wheels with silver-coloured rim rings, distinguishing it from the disc-wheel variant.

Die-Cast Construction with Rolling Wheels

Part of Matchbox’s 1:64 vehicle range, the miniature combines a die-cast metal body with plastic components and rolling wheels. Its compact format suits both a display of American classics and imaginative play.

Matchbox 70 Years Short-Card Packaging

Presented in a transparent blister on an illustrated short card showing the Ranchero in an autumn road scene. The packaging features Ford branding, the Matchbox 70 Years logo and an age recommendation of 3 years and up.
