Rusty, You are correct. As sometimes happens a manufacturer will be
really proud of their product so they make every effort to make it look
good for advertising and marketing needs. So the folks who built that
car painted it silver for the 'company' photo, which is the one
everybody used and it became an urban/model myth. After it's 15 minutes
of fame it was painted solid black and simply had white stenciled
lettering applied.
As far as I know, we don't know who did the silver to black paint
job--so just maybe the car was shipped to J & L before it was painted
black, therefore you could run it correctly--but just once!
