<quote>Depending on car model and production date, the fan originally 
could have been black, red, or yellow. Some very early production 1500s 
may have had black fan. Otherwise the engine was painted in complete 
assembly including the fan, resulting in the fan being dark red. A lot 
of Twin Cams, especially 1500 body types, had black fan. There are 
reports of some early 1600s having either red or black fan. Sometime 
likely during 1959 production year, the fan was painted yellow to 
satisfy new safety standards, and all later cars should have yellow fan 
as original.</quote>
