Matchbox 37b; Karrier Bantam Coca-Cola Lorry
This is the second version of
the Karrier Bantam Coca-Cola truck, the earlier version is 37a. The
differences are easy to spot, 37b has a baseplate, 37a has not. There is
also a size difference, 37b is slightly larger than 37a.
The colour of 37b can be yellow
or orange, wheels can be grey, silver or black plastic. The first
releases have grey plastic wheels with crimped axles, these were changed
to rounded axles on the GPW releases which continued on the silver &
black wheel versions.
Silver wheels releases are very
rare and valuable, orange versions are also rare and valuable. |
