Well, I found this fun site that has footage with ads from airlines back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. According to this website, the trip took 6 and a half hours in 1958, which is pretty close to 1960. They got this info from something called the "Prelinger Archive". Here is a link to the site I found the info on: http://www.ultraswank.net/category/travel/ Scroll down to the item right after the one on flight bags.

it should have been the same in 1960 as it is today, about 7 hours, because transatlantic jet airliners were already in service by 1958.
