I sent this on to Tom McPherson who reports that there were 113 Flxettes built during the 1960 model year. Of these, 12 were funeral cars, 91 were combinations, 8 were ambulances and 2 were service cars. Seven of these cars were landaulets. It's really hard to tell how many survivors there are but, I'd guess very few.

nice to see that other people have problems with there base clear to. the front fender and the drives door don't match. it comes from braking your pass at the body line. then on the door he went light to avoid the run on the build up. left the fender heaver, the leading edge of the door lighter. one should always over lab in the center of the panel with a high metallic or Pearle paint. not that I noticed it though. messed up the 73 the same way.

I wonder how close Steve's is to this ?

Body style, etc.
