Now available for sale is the rare yellow-lettered Bronx Zoo Giraffe stock car -- which was only available in 1969! This freight car has gorgeous exterior colors with clean and crisp side lettering and graphics. Additionally, the frame, trucks and couplers are clean, complete and free of rust and oxidation plus the giraffe is a postwar giraffe that is complete with nothing broken nor damaged. Lastly, the body is complete and free of nicks, chips and cracks.
Also included with the freight car are original instructions dated 1961 as instructions dated 1969 are not known to exist (Lionel apparently used left over inventory from the early 1960's for this freight car). The telltale post is an original postwar pole and the correct darker color orange. The track activator clips used to activate the freight car and hold the telltale pole are also original postwar components. The only item that appear to be reproduction components are the white telltales.
