Interesting trivia and none of the other auto makers decided to latch onto the handle before the '70 was born. Don't recall ever seeing one as the typical color scheme was two-tone. Maybe someone on our forum has one..

In 59 it was just a Name to sell a boat. In 1970 it was a reality and it fit the metal it was badged on.
