If you look at that 1962 catalog, the Fleetwood is a black and white photo. If you look at the description very carefully, it says "The Fleetwood"
"Jet Black lifetime porcelain finish" the description is exactly the same in both the 1962 catalog AND the other one here... 1963. Why it is in black and white and has that silvery shine for 1962? I wish I knew. But as kickass as a factory 26 would be and as much as I love Grandpa (and Grandpa is a sweet old grill) he's a very well seasoned/faded black turned silver-grey. Someone else on here has a very evenly faded black thumbscrew Fleetwood as well along with a matching faded SJ and an MBH 22 faded black.
