Hmmmmm...THAT'S interesting.  My Tradewind is a '62, and it came with a gold
painted frame and tanks, gold anodized panels on the outside, and a (dig
this) gold metalflake bathtub in the starboard quarter!  This anniversary
business might just be the first solid lead to an explaination of why mine
has the golden extras and, so far, nobody else's does.

Thanks, Fred, you've inadvertantly lit up and old light bulb in my brain.
