Budweiser "Sports" Cars
| While looking through the Budweiser style guide one day I noticed the the famous beer company was heavily involved in sports of all sorts. The Budweiser "Sports" Cars series used several of our most popular 1:43rd scale Matchbox cars. I was able to match up a specific car to six of the sports that Budweiser was supporting. Each theme has a joke attached to the car.
To view the full-size images of the cars below, just click on the thumbnails on the left.
