GENERAL INFO

The first Coca-Cola truck, the 37A, wasn’t on the market for very long. Released in 1957, it was first available in a size 2, B2 and also had a blue rectangle, which is rare for size 2 boxes. The box has a different front and back, due to the numbers being slightly to the left on one side. This box was used also with B3 sub-type.

A second major variation, with both front and back identical, shows the mode; with bigger numbers, but the narrow “N”. This box is size 3 and also has a blue rectangle.
