Red Phantom

-
How were you able to determine it is a 1958 model?
I have a red phantom but not sure of the year it was made.
The red is not solid, but more like candy apple red.
Thanks.
I determined it was a 1958 by the serial number on the left rear dropout.

My Red Phantom falls within this time frame.
