<VV> The Last Corvair Article (Corvair in Print)

[Spence Shepard]

I remember seeing a '69 Corvair in a museum in Texas in about 1980. It was 
billed as being "new" and one of the last ones. I'm not sure where the 
Museum was, I think near Fort Worth. I remember it was west of Dallas. I 
don't think it was an entirely automotive museum and I was surprised to see 
the car there. I'm sure someone in NTCA knows about it.
