Got my May Hemmings today.  Hagerty has an ad with a photo of a '65 Corvair 
convertible.  The text reads; 

"UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED."  --New York Courier 1965

"What the heck, we'll insure it."  --Hagerty Insurance, 2004

Forty years ago it was an accident waiting to happen.  Today it qualifies for 
the finest insurance around...."

O.K., so maybe they got a few facts wrong, not the least of which is that the 
"unsafe" allegations pertained only to the '60-'63 models, not the '65 
pictured.  Still, I for one enjoyed seeing the ad.
