Wood Reefer
Coors
No. 5-8739 -1977 Release
Lionel offered two versions of the 50-foot Mechanical Refrigerator
Car during its 1970s run in HO scale. The little 40-foot Wood Reefer is an odd piece in the Lionel HO collection for the
1970s is this Kader produced wood side car. The car carries the same reporting marks, A.D.C.X. 8740, as the 50-foot Coors
car. No catalog appearances in Lionel's HO 1970s publications for this Coors car. It is mentioned as being a rare item in
George J. Horan's "Greenberg's Guide to Lionel HO, Volume II 1974-1977." That book was first printed in 1986 and the car
may well have been a difficult find in those days. However, I notice it routinely appears on eBay and often doesn't go for
much money at all. It may be more common than thought at the time of Mr. Horan's writing of the Lionel HO book.
