<VV> 4 or 2 door Corvair,

[Arlette Carl]

Hi everyone,

 

All this talk about 2 or 4 door ardtop LM Corvairs and which look best is simply crazy. Both look great!

 

A late model 4 door pillarless Corvair is a stunning looking car and unique in that it could well be the smallest or one of the smallest four door pillarless hardtops ever made. I do believe the Japanese made some Toyota Crown four door pillarless hardtops in the early 1980s but these were larger cars than the Corvair.

 

In time good original examples of 4 door hardtop Corvairs will be rare and collectable mostly because in my view they have been underappreciated.

 

The 1965 to 1969 2 door hardtop Corvair roof-line with its thin "C" pillar is outstanding. Why some see then need to cover over these thin rear "C" pillars is very difficult for me to understand. I don't find the "Finch Sprints that widen this pillar" at all attractive but in the end its really an individual thing.

 

Certainly I have long held the view that the four (4) pillarless hardtop style is a real 'hardtop' in the true sense. Two (2) door hardtops on the other hand while hardtops, they are not as complex to build as a four door hardtop and certainly not unique.

 

Most makes at one point made a 2 door hardtop but few outside the USA ever attempted to produce a 4 door hardtop and a 4 door hardtop in time will become the interesting body style above most others in my view.
