<VV> Corvairs on TV - Life on Mars

[Bill Elliott]

This is a close copy of a BBC TV show by the same name. That UK show 
brought a huge surge in the popularity of early 70's/late 60's  "unsung" 
cars (even rather pedestrian economy sedans which were accurately 
portrayed as the majority of cars...). Hopefully the American producers 
will resist the natural urge to make every car on the street some 
"special" model... sounds like a good start...
