The Corvair-powered Military Vehicle For Sale: 1966 Canadair at 10K would be
much more of an attraction and just as unique and besides it's a vehicle
produced by the second largest producer of Corvair vehicles in the world. It
would be awesome if CORSA was able to acquire this vehicle. Then we could
have a display with autos,  RV's, dune buggies, drag racers, emergency
vehicles, boats, air boats, airplanes and military vehicles. Now think about
it, is there any other car manufacturer past or present that can represent
such remarkable diversity in a single Marque? We really do have something
for everyone.
