<VV> Corsa van

[Bill Hubbell]

Isn't this the same tent which became airborne during a storm at the end of
the Concours in Jacksonville this past summer and hit and damaged a couple
of Seniors cars? (just missed my car, from what I was told)

Some years ago,  a similar thought was held by the board. The CORSA tent and

other items for displaying magazines, articles, etc were purchased.  The 
idea was that it would be available for these shows.  It was transported 
from location to location for a year or three then the enthusiasm waned.

shipping the items is expensive -- cheaper to buy a pop tent and stick CORSA

emblems on it then transport the tent and other items.  We have a hard time 
getting the tent to conventions let alone all the shows that CORSA should be

visible.

The Tent and display stand are still available for use by any chapter 
willing to pay the shipping expenses.

The tent is currently at my place -- only schedule location is the Iowa 
convention.  If a chapter wants to use it, OK.  but remember, the chapter 
has to pay to transport or ship it.  It is large and heavy.

oh -- The tent and other items were used at the SOS show in Springfield in 
2000 for the 40th anniversary of the Corvair.  the Corvair was the feature 
car that year, and will be again in 2010 for the 50th .  I will likely 
borrow the tent again after the convention for the Show.
