Joe K. Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 This November, 1947 Toys and Novelties ad moves the date back one year: According to the ad copy, the Atom Bomb Red color will be joined by Blue, Green, Yellow and Ivory later. Were these other colors ever released?

Tinplate6 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Beautiful toy; I actually had one of these a few years ago, but it had a crack in the windshield posts, very common on these, so I sold it. Many are also missing the headlamp lenses. Perhaps I'll find a minty version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
