All this silly stuff about OJ and Brasso polish is just extreme resistance to the reality that gold trim was applied to a range of models and even to some models that had the overwhelming majority of the trim done in silver.
I wholeheartedly agree. There are plenty of examples of out-of-timeline gold trim, yet this is what we always get from a certain quarter when a new trim variation is discovered (e.g. 6a, 19c, 62a, 68a).

I am delighted to say that I now have my own example of a gold-trimmed 58a. (It's only taken three years for me to find one!)
I am even more delighted to say that it smells neither of orange juice nor of sweat!
