Interesting original handout. Takes a little bit of the mystery away about the front brake.

Tom, fixed it for you!

Whoever wrote Simplex's advertising was a hell of a fiction writer!  Does anyone believe plenty of power?  Or more sold than all others combined?

Front brakes were on the early models also. I wonder if they were always an option, or just some years?

The photo is the identical photo used in the '57 magazine ad (they airbrushed the tin blue instead of red) and the verbage still has a '57 reference (22 years of "experience"....in 1958 it would have been 23 years).
