<VV> Canadian Corvairs are Cool!

[peter koehler]

Hey Group! Just a quick message to applaud Kent Sullivan 
and any others out there that are planning to participate 
in the Canadian Corvair Homecoming. I am hoping to get my 
entry ready in time for the event at the Holiday Inn in 
Oshawa. As some of you may know, I had the opportunity to 
live in Canada for a few years and was lucky enough to 
bump into John Gray prior to his election as mayor of 
Oshawa. We had some good times playing with Corvairs and 
Corvair parts - and some Corviars that should have been 
just parts! The membership of CORSA Ontario really helped 
me feel at "home" in a foreign land for my 33 month long 
assignment with GMCL. While there I did acquire a few 
special Canadian Corvairs as well as a couple Pontiacs 
there were unique to the Canadian market. I still have the 
Pontiacs (a '60 Laurentian sedan and a '64 Parisienne with 
a 283 and a powerglide!) as well as 1960 Canadian Corvair 
500 sedan #236. It is the same car that won the 1991 Ed 
Cole Award at the DC convention. It is purported to be the 
oldest living Canadian born Corvair still around. Plan to 
attend the Canadian Homecoming in Oshawa on the 23rd and 
either check it out, or prove me wrong by bringing your 
older Canadian Corvair for all to see. And to all my 
Canadian friends, "Bob's your Uncle!" - Caveman Pete
