No. 6468-25 Box End

The Lionel Large Automobile Box CarsNo. 6468-25 New Haven was cataloged beginning in 1956 and continued for two more years until 1958. This car replaced the Baltimore & Ohio No. 6468. All of these cars have an ORANGE plastic body and all of the early variations of these cars showed no roof line marks because they were manufactured prior to 1955 when these molds were modified to accommodate the No. 6352 ice car. Other than these body variations, there are four other major variations:

Variation A: Large WHITE "H" under Large BLACK "N", with a full-serif, BLACK "New Haven" with WHITE technical data.

Variation B: is the same as Variation A except with half-serif on the upper right of the "N" as is illustrated to the right.
spacer
Variation C: is the same as Variation B except that the colors are reversed on the large letters. It has a WHITE half-serif "N" over a BLACK "H" and a WHITE "New Haven" and BLACK technical data. This is the hardest of these variations to find.
