So I managed to sell my red 59 last Thursday, this means there is a new '59 driver out there somewhere!

think the pushrod from the brake pedal to the master cylinder might be unique. From an OG 58. Anyone else seen this in their 58 or 59?

Since I dont have any to compare to what makes the piece above different than the 59-64 part?

Ive only seen the ones in the lower pic on 65 up cars. Ive owned 58,59,60,61,62 cars and they always had the thin casting rod like the one in the first pic. If there are small differences in the thin casting I cannot say but the large one I have only seen used with the stamped steel pedal assemblies.

Hi all, I came across this thread on accident a couple weeks ago looking up my paint code.

There's been some great discussions between the 58 and the 59.

The talk about the differences between our years and the others is very informative.(most I knew, some new things I learned).

Like most people here I didn't want to respond or give input, till I read all
86 pages.

Most of the 58-59 differences I learned while doing my own 58 pan-off restoration. Since then 58's have became my favorite year(paint colors & Int. colors). Very Happy

Hey Stale Air, love your car. Yours is the only 2nd light bronze 58 I've seen. The first was Shin's original paint 58 from Japan's Let's Play at the classic 05'.
I got to say your shine is unreal, that first page shot of the fender is primo (the above shot), I love the curves of a o.g. 58 fender under metallic Exclamation

For a picture of Shin's car you'd have to do a search of the 2005 classic weekend at WCCR. His car was up front by the office door by a vert I believe and mine. Good luck Smile

Here's a small color picture I found in Let's Play #24 Wink
