Your saying that the speckled silver finish in the catalog is black?

I think it's a black and white photo they used for both the Fleetwood and the cutout diagram.

I think it is "highlighted" in a strange way to set it apart from the Texan.

Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work

Those are beauties, Harris!  Great discussion, too. 

Sorry to go off-topic, but, has anybody seen a MLH yellow 22 like that in the catalogue pic??

Okay I'll go with that.....let me ask you this, what catalogs are we looking at here?  What years?  The two I posted?

@zavod44

The one with the questionable Fleetwood pic is 1962. The other with the very black Fleetwood is 1963. It has George on the cover working a 22 red MLH with the work table and the charcoal caddy thing like @Jeff has on the cover.

EDIT: Here's the discussion from one of the FUNNEST days on WKC in 2014 for me. Hard to believe its been a year almost. The 1963 catalog (black Fleetwood) is c-63

@harris92 they say the fourth time's a charm.  ;)

my paypal account wants to trade with you.   8)
