GENERAL INFO

Released in 1957, the 2A Ice cream Truck had a short history in terms of boxes. Only B types were made, and the box shows the model with red cab and yellow trailer, with one side having the model slightly lower and to the right than the other.

The B box was available in three sub-types: B1, B3 and B4.

RARITY

Hard to tell which box is harder to find, since it only depends on end flaps.
