<VV> Information to use in promoting the Corvair

[Kent Sullivan]

Dave Newell might have this info handy, given all of the articles he is
producing to help celebrate the Corvair's 50th.

First turbocharged engine on a mass-produced US car? The Olds Jetfire came
out about the same time...

First use in US of low-pressure sand cast aluminum engine parts (see Dave's
article on this)?

Probably more...

Subject: <VV> Information to use in promoting the Corvair

I'm looking to create a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of unique facts about the  
Corvair that I can display on the car during car shows.  I want it  
for those times that I am not able to present the car to those not  
familiar with the line.   I'm hoping to generate more interest in  
ownership by non-Corvair people.

I think I remember reading that the Corvair was not the first in some  
areas like unibody construction, air cooled engines, and four wheel  
independent suspension, but there must be a way of expressing the  
fact that this was very unique to cars of the era.  I was thinking  
along the lines of the firsts of cars over some threshold of  
production, the first by American car manufacturers,  etc.

I have already created a flyer to pass out that has the NTCA and  
CORSA blurbs and contact addresses on the front and the ten reasons  
to own a Corvair on the back.  Driving/ car show season is the ideal  
time to generate interest in Corvair ownership.

I would also like to know if anyone out there has the window sticker  
of a 1965 four door of which they could e-mail me a copy.  I think it  
would be a great little display item to attach to the rear window.

I won my first two plaques yesterday on Fathers' Day on my first time  
to show my Monza.  The Peoples' Choice Award and the Event Owners  
Award.  It's quite fitting that it happened on Fathers' Day as this  
was the car that my father had owned.
