What year did Rickenbacker first make 360's with the Old Style body(like the c63 and v64 RI's have)and in what year in the 60's did they stop making them ?

I believe the first non-Capri year would have been '61, and they were a special order item all throughout the 60's. I recall seeing one as late as '69.

I believe 360OS/360WB/360WBBS were available on custom order right up to the 1990s and there's even a notable forum member who has a Montezuma Brown one from 2003.

Thyere is one on the Register dated 1981 in Autumnglo (photo):
- 1981 360 OS
I believe there have been a few on eBay dated in the 1990s, though I can't find any examples now.

Right,but I should have been more clear.I meant 360's with the Old Style body ,21 fret necks,full length inlays and toaster pickups and trapeze tailpiece.The 360's that the 360v64 and 360c63 where based on.When did the stop making those?

The answer to that probably has little to do with the OS body shape, and more to do with when Rickenbacker went to hi-gains, 24 frets and non-full width inlays.
all in 1970?
