Turonistan: It's A Corvair, That's What It Is!

I drove one of those things once. This one must be, oh, forty-five years old.

Spotted this one in my 'hood this afternoon.

Home on the Range said...: I've not seen one of those in ages. It looks like it's in pretty good condition.

Then we bought a 1966 Corsa, and enjoyed it until my Mom read Nader's book and talked my Dad into getting rid of it. It was a far better handling car than the '64, but my parent's wouldn't listen to me about the errors and inaccuracies in Nader's book.
We traded it on a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, so although I missed the little Corsa, a 440 Magnum turned me into the torque junkie I am today!; October 31, 2009 at 10:56 PM
