1958 - Glidden Exterior
24 Colors
This 1958 Glidden catalog entry features Endurance Velvet, a flat exterior paint designed for wood shingles, shakes, and siding. The 24-color palette includes muted and mid-century tones suitable for residential exteriors, reflecting popular color choices of the late 1950s. This water-repellent velvet finish resists exterior moisture penetration while allowing the surface to breathe, helping prevent peeling on new or poorly painted wood surfaces.
This product is not intended for trim or concrete, but specifically for wood siding and roofing shingles. Originally flat, these colors are offered in flat or satin, providing modern usability while maintaining historical authenticity.
Ideal for:
-
Exterior wood siding and shingles in 1950s homes
-
Period-accurate residential color schemes
-
Restoration or historically inspired painting projects
Note: Original flat finish preserved; satin available.
