I have looked at the boxes that show the timeline. I figure i have a early Cadalac car stamped on the bottom A and the manual says 84' But there is no text on the end on the box? Either end. And the rest is printed on. So I thought they all had the contents and price and code number on the end??

The information was printed on a piece of paper and then glued to the box. Many of them have come loose over time.

Well, the info on the early cars was printed right on the box end, the slightly later cars were papered and glued ( which loses its tack around basements :roll: ) but the place where your addy would be is on the opening side of the box, bottom right. Also in the manual and supplements, the yellow manual is a caddy, white manuals are to the earlier cars. Stamping on the chassis really doesn't help much because of production variations. Pics of the car are also good :wink:
