The Flying Colors version of the Neet Streeter is found only in the light blue color.
It was also issued in 1977 in the Super Chrome line. Both versions carried into the Blackwall era.

Neet Streeter vs. Classic '36 Ford Coupe

The Neet Streeter is very similar to and is possibly derived from the 1969 release of the Classic '36 Ford Coupe.
The rear rumble seat has been omitted, the black plastic hood scoop was added and the base was re-engineered.

Tricolor Ford Tampo Design

The top and rear were highlighted with red and white stripes, the Ford logo, and the slogan "Oldie But A Goodie", outlined in dark blue.

Neet Streeter Base

The Neet Streeter is unusual with its reference to Canada in the legal text on the base.

Redline and Blackwall Releases

Both the standard blue and the Super Chromes versions carried into the Blackwall era where even more variations were made.

Preproduction Pieces
A number of pre-production pieces have survived. Most of them resin approval models.

Unmarked Diecast Body

Some believe that the tooling for the Classic '36 Coupe was sold (or otherwise disappeared) before the Neet Streeter was conceived.
If so, this diecast body which has no casting number and is painted in an odd color may represent a "first shot" from a new tool.
