The individual models came in small boxes wrapped in cellophane like the ones shown below , the vehicles were available in a variety of retail outlets and were usually displayed in trade box assortments of 36 like this one:-

In the USA , the distributor , FJ Strauss of New York insisted that the models be on blister cards , so the ones pictured below were supplied.

The reverse of the Retail cartons show some of the models in the range in the form of line drawings , some of these cartons were released with incorrect information as can be seen from the photo.
As can be seen the box pictured on top incorrectly identifies a Vauxhall Victor as #6 , and the Ford Corsair as #7 , this was rectified on the box pictured below it
Twin Packs were also available , these were packaged in smart red opening boxes with a cellophane front , as the boxes could easily be opened and stored (at the time of writing) many have survived the years to be shown here.
No one (at the time of writing) has catalogued the various Twin packs issued , I have attempted to make a start here , if you have any not pictured please email me with the details.
