<html><P>Hi Jerry,</P>
<P>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 <EM>really </EM>interesting early 60s were all built at Willow Run in July.</P>
