Notes:

These models were produced through 1953. They went through the same transitions as #650, with the same warping problems (see that entry for the details). The 1946 variations had silver lettering, while later models have white lettering. There is one reported variation of the #651 that was made in 1953, which has a tuscan-red/maroon body instead of the typical red or green body color.

These are examples of the 1946 cars that warped.

This model has the typical red body.

This is an example of the maroon body color.
