50th Anniversary Spring Color announcement.

Thanks Chris, love the anniversary emblem on the stationary. Anyone happen to have a copy of the ad they mention at the bottom? Did they offer special colors every spring in the early 50's ? I have this one from 51.

I have a can of Spring Green and will probably do my '51 in that color. I've wondered the same thing Brian. I've seen the spring color offerings mentioned before. It would be interesting to know if that was an annual tradition.

I've got the ad, it is a full two page so not sure how to post it?

Scan it. Upload it to photobucket. Then post it here.

Not what I meant Chris! I'd like to be able to post the pics side by side so it looks like the ad.

Thanks, I never knew this machine was actually original paint.

What is it about a machine like that, makes my eyes open wide and my heart race?

OK, so I found this pic from a 55 American Motorcyclist. Sorry it's so small but you can see it's either a 51, 52, or 53 by the tank emblems ( my money would be that's a 53). The fenders match the tanks, not the panel. Panel looks bright white, main color doesn't look black, Blue maybe. Anyone have any info on this?
