Contact : Chuck Facklam 716-655-0508 or Jeff Clark  585-293-3827

 

A tour of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright designed, Darwin Martin House will
also be available during the afternoon for $15.00

Please contact us if you wish to attend the Martin House tour as space is
limited

 

This is getting a foot in the door so to speak, as the Buffalo Museum is
currently undergoing an expansion project which will include a Frank Lloyd
Wright designed service station built inside an expansion to the current
building. Wright's architecture is a huge draw for tourism which will place
the Corvair items in the public's eye. Western NY is also the place where
all the Corvair engines were built so there is that area connection as well.
If this display is as well received as we expect, who knows what the future
will bring.

I would like to thank Pete Koehler, Clark Hartzel, Dave Newell, Chuck
Facklam and all the others who were instrumental in getting this display all
together and in place.
