GENERAL INFO

Appearing in 1960, the 37B, very similar to 37A, was first released in a B4 box, showing the model in red with black wheels and back & yellow load. The same drawing would be used for B5 boxes as well. The end flaps show “Coca-Cola Lorry”.

There are two different C boxes, one having numbers closer to the scroll than the other and the load somewhat a bit darker.

The model was also packaged in D boxes, in both sub-types and the D2 one can be seen in three different top/bottom color schemes.

RARITY

Although none of the boxes for this model can be considered rare, it seems to be less easy to find C boxes for it.
