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. |
