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. Note: All of the early variations of these cars "(A)" showed no roof line marks because they were made 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:
spacer
(A) Large white "H" under Large Black "N", with a full-serif, black "New Haven" with white technical data.
(B) This car is the same as (A) but has four tuscan colored doors, and is another of those post-factory completions of unfinished bodies by Madison Hardware.
(C) This is the variation that has the half serif at the top of the large black "N" and it also has a lighter, semi-glossy orange body.
(D) This variation is the same as (C) but with the colors 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.
