You can buy from places like KMART a slotted/compartmentalised storage box with a hinged lid for around $20 - I think they are Hot Wheels brand and are blue. They are built specifically for matchbox/hot wheels cars.
Just went and counted - they fit 48 cars and are called a Hot Wheels Carry Case, they look really nice and are a good way to store the cars. You could get a couple and stack them on top of each other.
We use big tubs and sit them on top of their lids.
I used to have shelves and systems but I find that it's easier for the boys to tidy up if they can just throw stuff into tubs so now we only have shelves for books.
We have them in the drawers of the train table, however I second the plastic tub idea - brightly coloured ones would keep them tidy and look great in a toy area!!
