This model was produced through 1954 in four variations (these don't have a color band):

1954: black or white body painted a satin silver.
1954: black body with a chrome finish that was painted satin silver.
1954: white body with a chrome finish that was painted satin silver; "baggage" was painted over and the car was re-lettered with "American Flyer Lines".

This is an example of the first variation.
