GENERAL INFO

Appearing in 1967 in an E4 box, the 67B doesn’t have a lot of variations to look four. Only thee are known to exist; the E4 and E4R boxes show the red model with the passenger door open, silver hubs and black tires. Note that both E boxes have “NEW MODEL” on the end flaps.

There is only one F box variation, with “TM” and “PO” on end flap closers. The picture is similar, although we can’t see the tip of the axles on the wheels! The bottom lettering is the classic “ALP”.

RARITY

Boxes for the 67B are all easy to find, but the F box is a bit less common.
