<VV> Answers to the 1966 Turbo vert questions

[Mark Corbin]

As my buddy Mike and I always remark, "Marina Blue (in and out), weren't
they all?" Gawd, it seems that SOOooo many '66 and '67 Corvairs were that
color. And since I'm not a "blue" person, I got sick of it pretty quickly.
My second and third driver Corvairs were that color, and I hope to never
own a Marina blue car again, ever.... Yuck!

And what's this about Madiera Maroon coming in last? What's THAT all about?

These colors all came in at 1.3% or just one example each of this color on
the roster.

surprised about Madiera Maroon.
