The third run was supposed to be in the livery of Singer Sewing Machines but permission was not forthcoming so it did not materialise. So in 1991 the (Y12-5) 1937 GMC Van was released in the Australian livery of 'Goanna Oil Liniment'.

Livery: (Tampo)
'GOANNA' in white with dark blue edging. 'THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH REMEDY' in white, 'ESTABLISHED 1910' in dark blue and sketch of tin in red, white and blue on red panel on both sides of van body.
'HEALING, PENETRATING, SOOTHING' and scroll work all in white on both cab doors.

Variations: It had a black baseplate and blue body with red wheels which can be either dark red or orangy red.
The decal can also be dark red or orangy red and it is believed the darker red were pre production models.

This issue can only be found with streamlined headlights.
