<VV> Time Magazine - Ed Cole Edition

[richard shank]

Chuck - - -Dollie was Ed Cole's second wife.
I once rented a 66 Corvair from Hertz in 1966.  It was a Monza Coupe, 110 PG, Marina Blue.  What I distinctly remember was it didn't run worth a hoot!!!  - - -Dick Shank

Just received a copy of the October 5, 1959 Time magazine with Ed Cole as  
Time's Man of the Year. When skimming the article, I saw a couple of things that 
I have questions about...and where else is there a better place to ask a 
Corvair  related question than VV.
In the article it said that Hertz Rent a Car signed up to purchase 3000  
Corvairs. I was unaware that Corvairs were used as rental cars. Were there any  
differences to them that could distinguish them as rental cars? I know the Hertz 
Shelby Mustangs were all painted black with gold stripes, had some different 
parts and also had a 350H designation on the side stripes. Was there 
anything  like this for the Corvair rentals? Are there records on how many Corvairs 
were  used by rental car companies throughout the life of the Corvair? Any way 
if you  can tell if your Corvair was a rental car?
Also in the article it showed a picture of Ed Cole's family and said his  
wife's name was Esther...I thought it was Dollie. Was Dollie her nickname, or  a 
different wife? 
Just wondering...
