I could be wrong, but I believe that the promo models changed for 1975;
So prior to 1975 they came in a plain white box assembled with the closed hood, there after they came unassembled in a retail sized box, but covered in promo images - and a sticker telling of the colour the contained car was.

I believe that the promo kits were Formulas through to 1976, and then changed to the Trans Am for 1977.
