Re: [T3] '63 Squareback trivia

I think that would be valid assumption if it was added say, in early 62.
 August, 1963 seems like a stretch.

I wonder if they thought the pancake engine design didn't need the parts
at first because it warmed up so quickly?  This seems unlikely to me too.

Maybe they thought the Type 3 cooling airflow made flaps unnecessary?
