While I was stationed at Little Rock AFB, AR, '63-'67, we had tons of AF
Blue issue Econoline cab forward Ford pickups but I don't recall ever seeing
a Corvair FC at any base I visited. [It's been a long time and who knows
what I really saw?...I know I did get to see the total insides of a Titan II
missile launch complex if that impresses you.]
Speaking of FCs, I understand Chev had a sales training/product intro
comparison film of the FC vs. the Econoline trucks and in the drag race
event the Corvair was winning and then both slammed on their brakes...the FC
stopped straight and sure with all wheels on the ground while the Econoline
pitched forward onto its front bumper and went a little out of control. That
was supposed to be part of the reason the Econoline truck had such a short
run [no pun intended].
And that's all I have to say about that! Thought you should know!
