Mike yes it was lightly used. but it was purchased titled and registered in 1958. I would not doubt that left over 56 & 57 where sold as 58. I don't think at the time it made much different's  they probably never thought they would last 50 plus years.

The windshield used to hang on the wall in my grandpas barn but went missing about five years ago! bummer!
  The bike was purchased at John Esler sales on leonard st in GR Mich in 1958 Frame #15292 Eng #M23408B
The big question I have for the pro's is the bike is all original (except piston&bore by Wayne) I am happy with the tin & original wear but the rims and spokes are rusty and chipped should I re-lace and paint? or keep it the way time meant it to be?

 Thanks bradhair

I have my dads 1958 Simplex Automatic. My Grandpa purchased the bike in Grand Rapids Michigan in 1958 or 1959. This is a picture of my dad when he was 14 years old. He just rode it to a antique show last weekend. I will post more pictures.
