The de luxe versions were usually painted in a different colour on the roof but was also available as single colour, but all of them had the chrome strips beneath the boot lid as can be seen on both cars. That it is a 1959+ can also be seen when looking at the facia, as it has a rectangular instrument housing compare with a semi circular as of earlier versions. -- Last edit: 2014-05-23 12:32:41
