I seem to remember seeing such a thing.  It was a Commodore 64 with a white
case, and the dark color keys like the latter C64's have.  I think the
Vic-20's have light color keys if I remember right.  Then Commdore went with
the grey colored equipment, only to return to white with the C64c and C128,
1571, 1581, etc. etc.  I believe the 1541 started out in a white case as well.

Mark.
