Thanks for that heads up, Wayne. This is pretty interesting for me, as a contrast to my '54. The biggest difference with mine is that I have a V-drive transmission and the engine sits almost against the transom. The cabin door is in the center of the bulkhead. The cabin layout is different as well, but that may have changed over the years.
It looks like they have painted most of that "beautiful" mahogany. Some really ugly looking patches on the bottom of the hull!
