I think Shasta made tt's back in the 60's and maybe early 70's, some of which (but not all) had "wings" located at the top rear. Is this true?

If so, do you know when they quit using them?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Skip

According to this web site they had them from 1958 until 1984/1985 however many seem to have removed or lost them through the years.
