World on Wheels
   Topps - 1953-1954-1955

Notes:  The series was originally produced as a 160-card set  in 1953, then reissued 
later as an 180-card set to include new models in both 1954 and 1955. Card #160  
commands a significant price premium for collectors over #1-159, and cards 161-180 
are quite rare. Cards 171-180 are found with either red backs or blue backs. Packaging 
shows a set title of merely "Wheels" but the "World on Wheels" name has caught on, 
based on the card markings. Cards are 2-5/8" x 3-3/4". Titles below follow the card 
back, with additional information from [card fronts]. American Card Catalog reference 
is R714-24. Scans are posted at the Vintage Non-Sports Cards gallery. Many thanks to 
Tom Tyczkowski for the original list!
