<VV> Corvairs and Car Shows

[Bill Kronen]

The discussion about where we take our Vairs and with whom we show them 
has been interesting......given the fact that many of us are the only 
Corvair owner for many miles around. If I didn't go with our local 
Western Wheels Car Club (definitely a mixed group) to area Show and 
Shines and Cruises, there would be no place to go.  I suspect this may 
be true for many of us. Seems to me its not a question of either/or but 
both/and. The reaction to my 63 Spyder convertible has been generally 
positive (except for a guy who once stated, 'that car is a piece of 
crap') and always gets more questions than many pristine cars I often 
park beside. Its nice to be the only Corvair present and to be able to 
dispel the many myths that persist to this day as well as inform the 
later generation who are often amazed that such cars existed.  Still 
remember the young man who couldn't believe that the car had a 
TurboCharger, and it works.  Corvair only gatherings are great.....but 
so are the mixed shows.
