GENERAL INFO

The 39A Zodiac Convertible was introduced in 1957 in a B2m size 3 box with blue rectangle, showing the model with small lines underneath, no driver, red body and yellow front wheels and black rear wheels. It has no background. The variation was also made in B3 syb-type.

A second variation, with the picture stretched to fit the size 3 box, was released in B4 and B5 styles. A second B5 box was then made, and this time they made sure it had a driver! The model has also bigger rear wheels and they are all yellow. The number use the “straight 3”.

The C box is essentially a repeat of the last B5 box.

All the boxes available for this model are size 3.
