It is part of the American Flyer product line... that is why S gauge American Flyer items are sold in specific blue boxes and have complete catalogs (or sections) devoted to them.
But even those beautiful blue and yellow boxes have Lionel written right on them too.
The Lionel name is, in fact, on the box. However it's obvious the "American Flyer" name is a bit more prominent. In the case of the boxcar, there is NO "American Flyer" logo visible on the body at all. I am not an "American Flyer" fan/collector/operator, but I can understand his dismay at seeing the Lionel logo instead of the "American Flyer" logo.
