Hi all,

I am re-doing my 58 Fastwin 18Hp and want to give repainting my medallions a try. Can someone please post a pic of a nice set so I can see all of the original colors?

Also, I have a new Cowl Retraining Strap, but not one of those elusive clips. Can someone who has one please take a pic of that setup, so I can make me a clip unless a source for one is found. The clip PN is: 203843.

Thansk a bunch as always!!!!!!

I have not been able to come up with a good shot of that medallion. I think that series of 1950 Evinrudes were some of the most attractive, pretty, handsome, good-looking, alluring, prepossessing; lovely, charming, delightful, appealing, engaging, winsome; ravishing, gorgeous, stunning, arresting, glamorous, bewitching, beguiling; graceful, elegant, exquisite, aesthetic, artistic, decorative, magnificent outboards ever made . . . 😀

But then again I might be a little prejudiced . . . 😆

Here is a before and after of my 1958 so far, minus the Decals, and Medallions. I have the Decal Set, but waiting another week so I can light sand and clear it and put them on.

I do love the 3 tone paint jobs…hard as heck to re-paint, and mine is Not perfect but I am happy with results for a first time 3 tone paint job. All of my other motors were single color.

This my first 50’s motor….saying that I now have a 56 Lark, and a 56 Johnson 30 on the way from different parts of the country where I talked my friends into buying them for me and bringing them to me when the come here 😆 😆

No one knows about the clip, and or the shape of it?

Funnny, that’s what all the girls say about you, Garry! Must have kept the best and left the rest!

The late Brooks Stevens might have had some influence on the styling of these fifties classics. After all, he designed the Evinrude Lark and the Wienermobile! 😀

Inspiring shots guys, they all look great.
I saw an article about Brooks Stevens and a concept boat he designed that they were thinking giving away of but never built, the 59 Evinrude Dreamboat. Here is a shot:

That would have been one great party barge. I like the little dinghy with the lightwin, nice touch.

I’m with you Garry! My 1954 Evinrude 15 is a thing of beauty & runs just as well. It gets to go out on special occasions only!

I love the look of the 1958’s! They are the best looking of all the 50’s Evinrude and Johnson motors. The next is the 53 & 54 motors, they look fantastic also.

P.S. I need medallions for my 58 Fleetiwn also.
