Do you have some photos or "ads' for those vessels?? You might be right, it could have been a California group importing an Asian built Rhodes like design. But I'm not so sure there was a significant Asian boat industry in the late 50's, very early 60's??

I seem to remember steel, and that was Holland's forte.
