Notes:

The #642 from 1951 and 1952 was changed in 1953 to the Seaboard road name, a more realistic name like several other cars in 1953. The 1953 Seaboard has four variations, all of which are painted tuscan. One is painted over a clear body with either a flat of semi-gloss finish. The second is painted over a white body with a flat finish. The third has a flat tuscan finish that is painted over a black body. The fourth is a shiny tuscan finish that is painted over a black body.
