   I had one of the first C64s sold in Canada (I paid $C 895 for it!), and it 
was in the same colour case as the later 64s (with the exception of the 64c, of 
course).

   However, the colour of the keys has changed over the years, especially the 
function keys.

   The VIC keycaps, too, went through some colour changes.
