Here's a '58 model owned by a guy who posts over on Bike Forums; Classic & Vintage.
I assume the paint is original because of the box striping, but I don't know that for sure.

The shipping lable on the green bike in Eric Amlie's post says it is Bruster green and shipped 6-58

Where are you seeing a shipping label?
I'm not seeing it.

Yeah, and that’s not Brewster Green, unless the optics of the camera radically changed the hue.

Here is a pic of the aforementioned shipping label for that Brewster Green Paramount. The label seems to indicate Brewster green with red and white striping.

The introductory press release for the New World models. October 1938

Most likely available for the Christmas season of that year.
So that would suggest that the New World models were being made available well in advance of the entire 1939 model year.
