The Metal Sunoco Single Dome No. 2555 is a premium car that was available from 1946 until 1948. It consisted of a die-cast frame that is usually without steps, sheet-metal tank, and the lettering is by decals, on the left "SUNOCO" diamond, and on the right side "S.U.N.X. 2555."

Variation A: Sunoco decal with "GAS" and "OILS" inside of the YELLOW diamond logo, and "S.U.N.X. 2555" decal. |
Variation D: Sunoco decal without "GAS" and "OILS" inside of the YELLOW diamond logo, circled "L" decal, and "2555" rubber-stamped on the frame. |
