Notes

This is a transition example from 1954 marking the re-numbering from 40A to 158 (transition box with both numbers stamped). This model has a fresh light green finish with mid-green wheels. A fine sheen throughout, since this model has barely been handled. Just a few light rubs at some of the raised body lines, probably caused by box contact. Attractive original silver detailing at radiator and headlights.
