GENERAL INFO

Also released in 1961, the very beautiful 6A Allis Chalmers Earth Scraper got C, D and E box to show for. The C2 box show the red model with white front and black tires.

The D box show the correct orange color, black tires, and silver metal hubs.

The E box, with a nice background that seems to show the model in action on a country road, was available in E1 and E3 sub-types.

148 X 44 X 56 is the only size made for this model’s boxes.

RARITY

The E box seems harder to find than the other boxes for this model, especially the E3.
