Fran, the one I just got is option # 2. It has the plastic cover over the gas tank, which is parallel to the frame. I really wanted the one with the frame and the perpendicular aluminum gas tank (#1), because that is what I had in the late 50's-early 60's. I also had an Eagle (1960). The first Cushman I owned was a 55, I think. I was a called a 50, but this one I found is what they tell me is a 59. I'm told both Highlanders were available somewhere between 58 and 62. There's really no telling what year it is without finding the vin # and locating a list (I saw it on the web last week). Right now, I'm disassembling it, ordering parts and getting ready to haul it to the powder coat guy. Not much to these things...a centrifical clutch, chain, simple suspension, single cylender 5 hp motor, gear reduction kick start. Really easy to restore, I'm told. I'll keep you posted and get some photos when we're done, if anyone is interested.
