<VV> 40th CORSA convention

[airvair at earthlink.net]

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.
