I was surprised when I learned that the Shell Wrecker and Disabled Firebird were even sold on a blister card! When I was a teenager I bought the wrecker but it had no Firebird! Curious to know the answer as well

No there are a few others i have purchased that are not shown in this pic. But no one so far has answered my question about all the vehicles being sold on blister cards?

The 3061/3061B is the Coke/Roadway combo. Not sure how it was acquired for retail. Special order I assume.
Set only slots were the blue/yellow dump, the Army dump, Army Kenworth, GI Joe Pete and Cobra troop carrier. These weren’t sold retail.
In the same hand the Army flatbed and GI flatbed were set only as well.
So, yes, almost everything was sold on card, except for those set only items.
This is precise information. However it leaves me wondering why some the vehicles were only available in the sets? That I am sure was a executive/ marketing decision. Thanks again for all your researched information, I truly appreciate all your efforts to answer my question.
