<VV> Naming Caveman Corvairs

[peter koehler]

My Corvair's "name" is a little lame... And I currently 
have "a few" Corvairs in the collection (six '60's) 
without names. Over the years I've probably bought and 
sold more than sixty 1960 Corvairs. But when it is all 
said and done I still still refer to the one that really 
got me started down the Caveman path simply as "The 60". 
Some of my friends back in CCE would know the car. I drove 
it to the 2008 Orphan Car Picnic in Aurora, IL. It's been 
on the cover of the CORSA Communique (Dec 1982?). I've put 
27,000 miles on it since 1977. Its a Crocus Cream 700 
sedan with wide whitewall tires and fender skirts. Oh 
yeah, it also has a clear Plexiglas deck lid.

Over the years people have inquired about buying it from 
me. I suggest they speak to my son, Paul since he will 
inherit it someday. Sorry, not for sale. Money is neat but 
some things are special. Perhaps that is how the car got 
named? - Caveman Pete
