Here are twelve different examples of the Woodgrain Era Y-16. Not included is the rarer "two tone green" version, and any wheel variations.

At Illinois Matchbox Club Meetings in the 1970's and 1980's, the club members would turn off all the lights and hold a black light to the models and you would see even more variations in the paint. Paul Erhart did this a lot for us.

You could go on forever with all these shade variants so I stick to the extremes at each end - dark green to light green.
