I have a 1957 18 hp that has a 1958 color scheme on the cowling. The decal is also in cursive rather than block letters. On closer inspection, you can see that it was repainted many years ago based on the fading. I was told that some dealers did that in order to make leftover 1957’s appear to be 1958’s. I can’t believe a dealer would do such a thing. 🙂
BTW, Holiday Bronze is the color and it is different for 1956, 1957 and 1958 so be sure to get the correct color. What were they thinking?
