Wrong yellow and if it's a 1958, it should not have the blue parallelogram behind the "Thompson" hullside logos. They did not start that until the 1959 models.

The correct yellow is "lemonade", a very pale yellow. It can be obtained thru George Kirby, Jr. Paint Company of New Bedford, Mass.

The interior hull cockpit liners are an owner addtion. They would not have been there from the factory on a 1950s boat. Starting about 1962 Thomspon Bros. Boat Mfg. Co. did have a mesh looking cockpit hull liner that snapped in to cover the celing. Sorta looked like burlap.
