Joe,

The post I was posting from didn't contain your email address. Don't know
why. Hence the list posting.

But as far as your remark on 4doors, it's YOU who don't have any taste in
styling. Dave Newell himself told me that GM designers felt that they had
done their best work on the LM 4door. So if Bill Mitchell & company didn't
have any taste in styling, then they didn't lead the 50's and 60's in
sales, either. You can walk 360º around the LM Corvair 4door and not see a
wrong angle. It's beautiful from any direction.

Whereas for the coupe (which I can only presume you feel is better
looking), I've always said that from a 3/4 angle, the car looks "slightly
pregnant", what with the rounded roof and skinny "C" pillar, rounded
backlite, and rounded body lines, not to mention the short hood/long deck
(criticized by Car & Driver) look, all adding up to that oddly bloated and
off-balanced look. The best thing you can do for the poor dear is to add a
Fitch Ventop to it. That masks the short hood/long deck look and hides the
"slightly pregnant" bulges, giving it a much more balanced look. And John
Fitch was known for his taste in styling.

But beauty is in the eye of the beerholder, and you're obviously too sauced
to make such a degrading comment against the beautiful LM Corvair 4door.
