I see the Corvair being referred to an a "special interest" car a lot. 
I presume that is a car that is not a true classic but to which many 
people are interested in. I don't know if that means it is also an 
antique.

By your definition of classic, do you think the Stinger or perhaps 
other special Corvairs, such as the Solar Cavalier are or will be 
classics?
