Matchbox Restoration Vintage - GMC COE Dinky 948 Mclean
Hey everybody and welcome back to another restoration!
Today we will be restoring a vintage Dinky Supertoys No 948 Mclean Truck. Mclean was a trucking company in the USA that started out in the 30's. By the 60's was one of the largest freight companies in the United States. They ran a fleets of all sorts of different trucks including the GMC Cannonball COE seen in this video.
This particular example I picked up in a parts lot I won on eBay. The truck was complete with a few broken wheels and a cracked trailer roof. Clearly this truck was well loved as I removed a good 3 layers of paint before I reached the original.
For those collectors who aren't familiar with the 948, the trailer originally came unpainted from the factory with a light gray finish. Due to the excessive layers of paint and yellowing on the original plastic, I decided to give the trailer a coat of Tamiya Chrome silver paint to replicate the polished aluminum trailers Mclean ran in the video.
Hope you all enjoy the video! If you enjoyed this restoration please support my channel by liking the video and subscribing. Plenty more to come!
