[FC] 61 FC differences

[James Davis]

All 61 FC's have the front vertical rain gutters along the windshield 
post.  This was removed in the 62 and later FC's to lessen the wind 
noise. The location of the antenna was moved to lessen interference 
with the gasoline heater.  Those of us with a gasoline heater in a 61 
are aware of the reason for a change.
