In the books I have there is pics of these gondolas into the later 60's in both paint scemes granted the circle Keystone sceme can barley be scene anymore but it is still there.

But anyway I would say both but the circle would be be heavly weahtered by then.

The switch from circle keystone to shadow keystone was done in mid-1954, but of course only new cars and those undergoing a thorough shopping and repainting were given the shadow keystone. I'd say probably only a quarter of the gons got it by 1958, unless they were still being built.

Weather and beat up the circles a bit, they'll fit right in.
