<VV> Corvair Firsts

[kaczmarek@charter.net]

I also believe that it would be safe to say the following.

FIRST ( and I believe ONLY)rear engine, air cooled American Production Vehicle)

also, the FIRST (and I believe Only)American vehicle marque to be produced in 2dr, 4dr, Panel Van, Window Van, Pickup Truck and Station Wagon.
