GENERAL INFO

Only one transitional F box for 36A Opel Diplomat exists. In 1970, the old model was fitted with the still very new wheels, and the picture on the F2 box shows the Superfast model in gold, with hood open, and a black “Superfast”. The top and bottom of the box show the model on racetrack and from a rear view where the opening hood is featured. Bottom lettering of the box is LPC and the end flap closers have “TM” and “PO”.

RARITY

Since the Hot Rod Draguar appeared later the same year, this box is not that easy to find (and so is the G box one!).
