GENERAL INFO
Release in 1959, the 66A was first seen in a B4 box showing the model with large drawing it without any background or other element. This drawing would be use for a B5 box as well. Another drawing also exists, with smaller model, background and lines underneath, also available in B4 and B5 boxes.
No C box was produced for this model.
66A made a brief appearance in D1 box, showing the model in its original yellow color and grey wheels.
All boxes made were size 3.
RARITY
The D box is by far the rarest for this model. It is one of the five extremely rare boxes of this type and arguably one of the rarest Matchbox box ever.
