<VV> Correct paint schemes for 1963

[cwiland@zzz.com]

  The body color to black engine compartment info is as 
follows, borrowed from the Feb. 1988 CORSA Communique 
"Stock Is...":

"Body Color: '63 Willow Run until early May; '63 Oakland 
all.

Black: '63 Willow Run after 2nd week of May."

  The author, Larry Claypool, sends out a plea for readers 
owning a car with a build code of 05A (first week of May) 
to let him know so a more precise changeover date could be 
established.

  I thought for sure I read this somewhere in Dave 
Newell's book "The (in)Compleat Corvair Story" but looking 
through the book I've still not found it.

  It looks like the majority of '63's did have body color 
back there, as evidenced by the replies to the topic. IMHO 
it would be wise to follow this info, since Larry would 
likely be your Concours classifier.
