[SCG] "earliests" and horn slots

Thanks Mark and Bill....Like I said, I've never seen both sides pierced, even on prototypes.

It does indeed have the horn slot recesses on the right, but not pierced out. -Mark  ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Hubbell To: chevrobilia at juno.com;Wrsssatty at aol.com Cc: scg-list at tiger.skiblack.comSent: 8/1/2007 7:38:25 AM Subject: RE: [SCG] "earliests" and horn slots

You are correct about the horn slots, at least as far as 428 is concerned.  Ron Tinkham sent me these photos of the horn slots.
 
I could have sworn I saw slots on BOTH sides of 407 when I looked at it in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Detroit.  I was probably just seeing the recesses in shadow, but now I really wish I’d had the chance to photograph it.  Pete Cimbala – can you get photos for us the next time you see the car?
 
Thanks!

No. I've never seen a '60, even in pictures, with the horn slots pierced on both sides. Some prototypes have the slot recesses on the right side but they're not punched open. I can't see the right side underneath 428's bumper but I'd be surprised if it has the slots stamped there.

Does that mean, then, that 700s of the earliest vintage had slots for horns on both sides?
