<VV> Corvairs in the Winter

[Jeffrey B. Aronson]

Yup, my '66 Monza regularly goes on the roads during Maine winters. I'm 
lucky that this island uses very little salt in its road sand mix, 
sometimes, none at all.

The Corvair is outstanding with all season radial as a snow car. Its 
traction is excellent in snow and braking rarely causes any skidding on 
slick roads. The defroster action is weak until the car warms up - and 
it is slow to warm up! But once it reaches temperature, the windshield 
clears up properly [ the vent windows help here].

If I had to leave the island and use the Corvair as a mainland car, I 
would regret all the salt on the roads but I wouldn't hesitate to tackle 
any snowstorm in it.
