GENERAL INFO

First released in the E type box, all E4, the Ford Zodiac MK IV comes in E and F types. The E type is interesting, as the model was first released in blue, than in a lighter shade of green. All the E boxes have the “NEW MODEL” on end flaps but only the very first variation was released without the ®.

Only one F box was ever released for the 53B.

RARITY

The green E box seems a bit harder to come by. The F box is definitely scarcer than any E box and may worth a bit more. But it should not be considered an actual “rare” box.
