<VV> Rarity of various Corvairs

[tkalp@cox.net]

If you want to break it down by model and AC then the '67 convert I had would be second with an estimated 79 units. (using the numbers from the Corvair Decade).  My guess would be that the true numbers were less than that because Convertible buyers would be less likely or order AC than Coupe or sedan buyers.
