Variation Summary










Choosing one for your collection
Check the long stripes over the roof and sides, where small printing losses can break up the design.
Collector questions
Is the long decoration text a body color?
No. That was an imported catalog error. JKX47 has a Spectraflame lilac body with black, yellow and orange striping.
