Once, some years ago at a NC Fall Corvair show when they were still 
having it at Modern Chevrolet in Winston-Salem, I "loaned" my '60 
4-door to one of my brothers who wanted to go to the show  but didn't 
wanna get up as early as I did.     I went in my '65 Corsa ragtop.


After I got there, bro showed up and parked the '60 4-door (in all 
its glory) around beside the dealership,  about 20 feet (two parking 
spaces) from where my ragtop was parked.    During the course of 
events, I picked up some kewl stuff from the outside vendors and was 
busy stuffing my loot into the ragtop trunk when I spotted a small 
group of people standing around the '60 4-door mumbling...  I shut 
the trunk of the ragtop, they glanced in my direction and then went 
back to mumbling... I *had* to walk over and casually pass by as if 
on the way back to the show proper, and overheard a couple of the 
guys saying:

"This has to be the worst looking Corvair here."

"Hell, it's the worst looking Corvair I ever saw at any show."

"What a piece of shit!"


I didn't say anything, I just walked on by, snickering...   and these 
were CORVAIR people wearing show nametags.





I halfway expected the '60 to puke some oil on their shoes just for 
good measure.



tony..


PS:     ...I'd assume that none of you fine folks in here might have 
been in that little bunch... would ya...?
