Is that the friend who is posing on your car who owns the Corvair?

Sweet vare. Did she get it like that, or inherit it?? Or is she one of those rare car gals? Oh yea dont you think she should have been on the other side hiding the rust? And on the RR they called the emblem the "spirit of ecstacy"  You need a more permanent emblem. See if she is up for the job! Dan |

Yes, She's a car girl. The car is mostly orginal, though she did do some of the repair work herself.

Hey gokart, were you at the Lane show? Yep. I had my Ghia there parked next to a buddy's '58 Chevy. I was not too far away from where you parked. I like that Corvair. I like the '65-'69 models the best. Chevrolet was really thinking outside the box (for an american company). Although they took obvious inspiration from the Germans, it has a lot of ideas that were unique. They had factory turbos before Porsche. The worst part was Chevy fixed the handling problems even before Ralph Nadir's book came out but the damage was done. |
