<VV> Corvair 50th Anniversary Coins Sold Out

[Dave Newell]

Hi,
I'm proud to announce that the CPF Corvair 50th Anniversary Corvair Coins have been sold out since last week. Unfortunately, any additional coin orders will have to be returned. 
I'm sorry if any of you wanted a coin but didn't quite get your order in, but the coins have proven to be very popular. For those who ordered one, your coin will be mailed and postmarked from Ypsilanti, Michigan next Friday on October 2nd. That's exactly fifty years ago to the day since the Corvair was introduced to the public and went on sale for the first time at Chevy dealers everywhere.  
The coins are the 50th Anniversary commemorative issued by the Corvair Preservation Foundation, and will be mailed from the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Collection. That's where the CPF maintains its Corvair Museum. Ypsi is also the home of Chevy's Willow Run assembly plant, where most Corvairs were built and the rightful home of the Corvair.
The US Postal Service will be postmarking the coin mailing boxes right at the Museum, using a "Pictorial Postmark" specially designed by us for the Corvair's 50th. Everyone is welcome to join us at the Museum on this historic day. As part of this USPS service, you can bring in just about anything you want canceled with the postmark that day, including Corvair brochures, magazines, fliers or even simple plain pieces of paper. I think the USPS draws the line at postmarking cars and body parts, though!  
Thanks again to everyone for your enthusiastic support of the 50th Coin project. Those who own the coins will have a real treasure, which is possibly the most important Corvair collectible issued since Chevy minted their own coin for the Corvair's introduction in October 1959!
