sure. some states used to register cars in the  *calender* year they were
sold, not model of the  car. so, a 61 corvair sold in october 60 could be
registered as a 60, even though it is a 1961 model.

it is most probable the car is a 61 model that has a 1960 front panel
installed due to collision repair. it will of course fit the 61 car. the
shop that repaired it evidently had acess to a 60 panel, and the customer
either didn't care or didn't notice.

i've seen this done to other corvairs before.
