1962 Jell-O History of the Auto Coins

Instigated by the 1960 success of Shirriff hockey coins, Shirriff\'s jelly powder competitor, Jell-O, decided a year later to get into the game. Jello-O introduced a series of 200 plastic wheels depicting famous cars, starting with the earliest \'horseless carriage\' in 1769 and running all the way to the latest 1961-model cars.

The 200 discs were organized in eight 25-car lots, each in a distinctive colour. This photo set features all 200 Famous Car wheels, by era.
