The easiest way to make a car different was to give it a two tone paint and leather upholstery, apart from a few "bling" additions, like chromed wheel embellishers, a more complicated grill, a little bit more chrome on the rear stem and gold emblems. Only one Zodiac I know of is painted in only one colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11RvAsiP8zQ (from about 3:00) and that one too was painted in two tones originally. The one pictured above is a 'Low Line' Zephyr with the chromium plated rain gutters and redesigned rear lights introduced in Feb 1959 on the 1959 model.
