<VV> CORSA IS INTERNATIONAL!

[Mel Francis]

Hi Carl!

You're right, I was thinking too small when I used the term National.

One way you could feel a bit closer, would be to head over to the new
Corvair Forum, introduce yourself and post a couple of pics of your car.

Especially a good shot of the interior, with the steering wheel mounted on 
the right!

Regards, Mel
