As if 1960 Corvairs weren't unique enough, that article details a rare variant, early 60's with the 3 vertical slits under the driver's side headlight. These "hornslots" were deleted in an early running change.
Shown hanging from the assembly-line body cradles at the Willow Run factory, this Fisher-bodied Corvair Model 700 is what's known in the Corvair community as a "hornslot" car; it's what many Corvair collectors and enthusiasts consider the Holy Grail of early production models.
