Look closely at the original paint and it might be more of an orange color than the ’58 and older Gas Tank Red. I think OMC called this color Cavalier Red and it was used for many years. I’ve seen ’59 tanks with both colors so it might have been a transition year for the paint colors used on the tanks.
Under Evinrude, these guys show Gas Tank Red for ’49 – ’58 and ’59 and up so there must be two different shades.
