Mighty Mini Mover Matchbox Monday No. 17 A Bedford Moving Van 1957

This was is easy to narrow down to 1957 because it was only released in green in 1957. There is another model that followed that is almost identical but it actually a different casting. The main difference is a wider gap behind the cab and the cargo box.
This example is missing the small tailgate in back. There are two small holes in the back on each side where the tailgate goes. I didn't pay much for it so not a big deal. It is what I would call a placeholder until I get a minty mint example. I have many placeholders and sometimes it takes a few upgrades, and then all the variations and box variations and it never ends.
Which reminds me I got a first edition Chief Cherokee today which I will be sharing some time this week.
