Listed as 1959, but I guess that is a typo ![]() The painted headlight bezels and the minimalist hubcaps make this a 1957 model. |

1958+ due to side exhaust pipe. |

No, the ID always had the side exhaust pipe (except on RHD versions). |

A 1957 would have painted frame on the head lights, and the rear hub caps shows 1959 small hucaps, which have been removed (or lost?) on the front wheels, so up to me it's a 1959 model ![]() |

Maybe it is because of my poor quality screen, but to me the bezels look painted and the hubcaps are only circa 2 cm wide; in the main pic one can just see the (very) small cap on the rear wheel, and it is clearly visible on the front wheel (so it is not removed or lost). These extremely small caps were used until May 1958 (at elast on the Confort. The clock on the dashboard (visible in the 10th thumbnail) tells us that it is a Confort version. |

Sorry Mike, but what about the rear wheel? it shows a big hupcap matching with ID's of 1959+ no? |

I think tat the bigger dark area is just a shadow, due to the covering of the wheel. Otherwise one wouldn'y see the darker spot in the centre. The small hubcaps on the big wheels were plain.![]() |
