Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your memories of the Oakland car. We have a very early Oakland car in the SFBA chapter, but unfortunately it's pretty ordinary as '60s go. Since Oakland (and Kansas City) production didn't start until September, many of the early features were gone by then. Including the horn vents and different contour of the front doors/fenders. The really interesting early 60s were all built at Willow Run in July.

About 10 years ago I was hunting Corvair parts in a
Junk yard in Kingman Az and came across a 60 4 door
that was in pretty good shape but I'm sure it is gone
now. It was assembled in Oakland Ca. and had a real
early number like in the first 100. I wanted to buy
it but didn't have any place to put it if I bought it.
It would have yielded a wealth of info for sure.
