<VV> 40th CORSA convention

Mon Apr 12 10:09:50 EDT 2010

Bob and all,

This got buried in the rest of the email.

Anyway, those who I know of who attended the first convention are myself, Claypool, Ron F., Ken Maxwell, Tom Seversin, Rick Norris, and maybe others (hence the notice for the CC). I know that Tom and myself have the cars we took to that convention, may be others as well. Tom will no doubt have his car there and I am going to try to bring mine.

It would be nice to schedule at least a photo op for such a distinguished group of guys and cars. Can you find an agreeable spot? Keep in mind that Tom may be going for the Cole award.

-Mark

All,

How about this?:

Dear Editor,

This year is not only the 50th anniversary of the first year of Corvair production, but it also will mark the 40th CORSA convention. CORSA's first convention was held in Chicago in the summer of 1971, and surprisingly there are still a few of us around who attended that first convention. In fact some of us still have the same car that we drove to that convention!

So to celebrate this fact, I propose that all those who attended the first convention get together during this convention for a photo op. And it would be especially appropriate if those with their "first convention" cars also bring them, so that they can be included in that photo op.

-Mark Corbin (I still have my '67 convertible that I drove to the '71 convention.)

Well, that makes three cars and at least 7 potential people. Sounds like a photo op to me.
