		| RE: 60/60 Master Parts |

		| While the 1960-64 Master Parts Book was reprinted in 1969 and covers only parts that were still available at that time, the 1960-64 Master Parts Illustrations Book did not change anything.  All the diagrams showing parts originally used had nothing deleted in the reprint.  The 1960 T-Bird drawing shows clutch and brake pedals for stick along with brake pedal for automatic, while the 1961 shows automatic brake pedal only.  There may have been plans for a stick in a 1961 T-Bird, but it did not go into production. 
 I also looked in my Hollander junkyard interchange books.  These books show what really happened in the real world of production cars.  There is a stick flywheel shown for 55-57 and 58-60 T-Birds.  There is no stick flywheel shown for 61-64 T-Birds.  The automatic flywheel is shown as fitting 58-64 T-Birds.
 
 Yes, if a one of a kind car does go down an assembly line, it could be considered production by some people but a prototype by most others.  However the prototypes were usually assembled at the Pilot Plant in Dearborn on the special assembly line.
