Heinz is famous for billboard reefers, some of the most colorful in history. First leased from
Armour in 1894, the white/green scheme was used throughout the 1890`s. About 1900 the
oxide
car color came in and within 2 years the left side of the car side was standardized while the
right
advertised various products. In 1907 the car side color was changed to yellow and remained
so
throughout the `teens. The cars were upgraded to meet the Safety Appliances Act of 1911
and
strengthened with steel bands. A large "57" was placed on all cars, ending the era of the
variable billboard. In the 1920`s car color was returned to oxide but the logo remained the
same.
Some of these Kits are unavailalbe as we are working on new decals for them.
