QUESTION ABOUT BENDIX HUB -WHICH ONE CORRECT ?

[SKIDKINGSVBC]

Just finished up with the 1956 Evans-Colson Matador, The sales flyer states that the red Matador came with a 2 speed kickback..I am assuming that it was a Bendix hub .If so was it a red band? Need some info so I can get the correct style hub ,,

Thanks ,

The only Bendix 2 speed available in 56 would've been the manual 2 speed.the automatic 2 speed came out around 1960.

Looking closer,the ad states it is equipped with a 2 speed lever,so must be the manual shift hub,which came out around 1955.
