It's early production Oct 29-1959. My 60 DeSoto Canadian built had them. Chris's New Yorker - July build has none. Chri's 61 Saratoga - Canadian built has them. Friend Jon Carson who knows them well, says NO US built 61's had the tubes.
Thanks to those that replied to the survey on F trunk drain tubes.
Here is the summary:

16. 06-07-60 No

There is no pattern or correlation between build date and drain tubes.
I was surprised that more than half of the replies did not have drain tubes.
There is a 6 minute video on F drain tubes at Youtube, see
