To the best of my knowledge, the Pocahontas logo did not appear on any cars until the refurbishing of the cars for the Pocahontas in May 1969, when the Pocahontas was upgraded to allow for discontinuance of the Powhatan Arrow.

That was when all the equipment was painted Bo, 23 blue. If someone has anything to document the logo being applied to a pre-1969 date, I’e love to see it.
