sixcyl ◊ 2005-10-29 19:53	But the bumpers are not the ones shown on 1959 type(smooth all along the width)
DAF555 ◊ 2005-10-29 20:08	I think you can put it to 1957, if I´m not mistaken they made some changes on the hubcaps and the boot when the new OHC-engine came. After that they looked the same until fall of 1959 when they released the 180b, 1960 model. -- Last edit: 2005-10-29 20:21:53
sixcyl ◊ 2005-10-30 00:18	So we can consider 3 periods: 1953/modelyear 1954 1957 with details modifications (hubcaps, boot) 1959/modelyear 1960 with enlarged radiator grill, and smooth shaped bumpers that's it?
DAF555 ◊ 2005-10-30 21:26	There is also a fourth period, the 1962 model 180c with improved engine. But I don´t think there are any visible changes on that one.
