[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 494269, member: 24594"] Just for giggles, I'll toss a few ideas into this mix of crayons... 100% the Johnson line did not offer color options. The model one chose each year was the single color combo that they offered for that model. In 1958, the Super Sea Horse was Johnson Cream and Javelin Gold Metallic. (the '58 was not a Javelin badge, but wore the same gold formula of paint as the '57 Golden Javelin) The Super was the luxe model, though, and the rest of the line wore the '58 version of Holiday Bronze. (*excepting the newly offered Fat Fifty, OMC's first V design, which wore the same gold and white as the Super twin.) Mercury, however, did offer color options, and as correctly stated above, black was not one of them in 1958. And to be fair, white wasn't either. Cloud White came along in 1959 and Phantom Black in 1962. 1958 did offer a Metallic Charcoal, though. Along with versions of tan, orange, burgundy, brown, sandwood, and copper, too. But for sure, the '58 Johnson Super was gold and white. Hope this helps a little. Cheers [/QUOTE]
