There were some changes made in the '59 boats to make them easier to produce, such as the raised area for a stock windshield, so these would no longer need to be sanded to fit each boat, and molded in, rather than bolted on tail fins. There were also numerous additional details added, a pleated motor-well, a design indented in each fin, details on the hull to further define the Faux turbines, very well detailed bucket seats (four), and a T-Bird style dashboard among them.

The photos show the only known '59 Glass Slipper at the top, beneath that, Ervin Kiersey and the original molds in which this boat was created and at the bottom, a period photo of the Glass Slipper plant, a rented former school building which still stands.

The molds, which are 100% complete are for this "Quad headlight" 1959 model.
