GENERAL INFO
The 66C Greyhound Bus was issued in late 1966 and was packaged in E and F boxes. The particularity of this model is the colors on the model and labels on the E boxes. The first E4 box has grey Greyhound and grey stripes on the label, and NEW MODEL on the end flap. The end flaps read “GREYHOUND BUS”. The second E4 box has the blue Greyhound while the stripes on it stay grey. It does not have the NEW MODEL on the end flaps anymore. The third variation has Greyhound and the stripes blue, and the end flaps now read “GREYHOUND COACH”.
The last E box, an E4R, has the model itself in tan-grey color while the label remains all blue. Again, the end flaps read “GREYHOUND COACH”.
The final box for this model is an F2 box, with grey-silver model and all blue labels. The bottom lettering is “ALP”.
RARITY
It is very hard to tell which of the E boxes is less common, but overall, the F box is a bit less common than any E boxes.
