Looks like a beast of a vehicle.

The model might well be from 1951, but GE’s ‘Specialty Control’ Plant in Waynesboro wasn’t completed until 1955 (work commenced in 1953). From the Virginia Department of Historic Resources:

The General Electric Specialty Control Plant was constructed in 1953-55, with an expansion in 1960, and covers more than 25 acres along the South River in Waynesboro. The plant, which resulted from GE decentralizing its northeast U.S. operations, was conceived and created for the engineering, design, and manufacture of cutting-edge electronics. Specialty Control Plant staff were responsible for the development of breakthrough technologies in areas ranging from America’s military to space travel to computers. The plant also manufactured equipment for commercial and military aircraft, relays that enabled communication between space vehicles and their command centers, and early computer equipment, among other electronic products.
