Atlas whale belly four truck tanker produced ?

Anyone know a date when Atlas first produced these huge tankers ? I collected all four names starting with the Texaco back in either 1969-70 at the ago of nine.  Then the Citco and Wanda in the early 80's just after I left the navy. I still have just the shell for the Wanda that I striped the paint off.  Then only a few years ago I found two of the real GATX version red and white cars.  Recently I traded one red and white for a new Wanda.
   I seen the real car last Aug while in St. Louis.     Was just wondering when they first showed up ?
