<VV> Why caveman? partial humor

[J. R. Read]

I always thought that it was because there was a good deal of redesign (in 
the engine compartment AND also the body) between '60 and '61 models.  Thus 
making the '60 a unique (or caveman) model.

Perhaps it is something else?  The floors rotted quicker and it became a 
"Fred Flintstone" car sooner?  Just a WAG - don't take that as serious.

Later, JR
