My mother in law brought over some old matchbox cars of my wife’s that she’s had in her attic for 25 years. Some cool cars in here for sure! Bonus points if you can identify the older ones - there are separate pics of the four I’m talking about, like pre-WWII style cars.
I thought I had them all lined up then discovered my kids had stashed a few around the house so I got them separately, like the GTI with a trailer hitch.
Enjoy! I am with my kids for the next few hours so no promises on identifying help before 730 EST if anyone cares.

I have that exact Majorette Toyota LiteAce and my brother has the same one in an off-white color with no decals! I also have each one of those Hot Wheels pre-war cars!
I know I have that early 80s/late 70s hot wheels Camaro in a purple color as well, and I have that exact Matchbox Golf too!
I have a much earlier version of that Matchbox horse trailer too, though mine is a cyan Blue and the rear doors are missing...mine is early enough it has the narrow all-black wheels older Matchboxes had.
Is that a Matchbox Ford LTD patrol car and a Majorette Impala patrol car too? Pretty sure I have each of those in a different paintjob!

Oh man, those are some classics right there! I didn’t even realize they made a yellow/red Bugatti, lol.

HW Oldies: Yellow Bugatti, red MB 540K, maroon Duesenberg, blue 35 Cadillac. These may have also been sold in a set with a blue Rolls-Royce Phantom II. I had all of these when I was a kid in the 80s. I also had the GTI with a couple wheel variations, and a couple variations of the Majorette LiteAce.

The Miura is cool as well as the Camaro and the funny chop top yellow thing.

One is definitely an LTD patrol car, can’t recall what the other police car is.
There’s also a yellow Honda Accord or early Civic I found while cleaning up tonight, and a yellow woodie wagon... Oldsmobile I think.
