<VV> "Crash Course"

[Charles Lee]

No one bailed out the Corvair !  ... and they wrote songs about the
Corvair - "Tough Little Buggy" and "Corvair Baby" to name two, plus more
than one group named "The Corvairs" ...

Where would it be today ?  Has anyone here designed "today's" Corvair ?

After looking at the "new" 1968 Retro-Mustangs, Camaros ("Camaroes" ?) and
Challengers, I'd think the Corvair would go over quite nicely !
