This livery for 'Baxter's Soup' was the second to be used on the recently introduced (Y12-5) 1937 GMC Van which was released in 1989. Although there are no variations in relation to the livery, two different headlamp components were used by the factory, which created much excitement amongst collectors.

Livery: (Tampo)
Van sides:
Company logo of deer against highland loch.
'BAXTERS SCOTTISH' surrounded by thistles with a tartan side strip in black, blue, light green and pink thistle flowers.
Two emblems in black above tartan.
'FAMOUS FOR ROYAL GAME SOUP' below.
Cab doors:
'BAXTER'S' above 'W. A. BAXTER & SONS LIMITED' and 'FOCHABERS SCOTLAND' in black.

Variations: It can be found with both types of headlight and it had chrome wheels. Pre production models did not have the address printed on the bottom of the doors.
