<VV> Celebrity owned Corvairs

[Bill Elliott]

Elvis bought one for Priscilla around 1960/61....but he did not have good things to say about it..at all.  But just think...somewhere out there is an "Elvis" 
Corvair..

Maybe he's still driving it. ;-)

I still consider Donna Mae Mimm's car to be "celebrity owned"...
