<VV> MuseumBrier is AutoFair Bound!

[peter koehler]

Hey out there in CorvairLand! Are you planning to go to 
the AutoFair in Charlotte, NC next month? I am. I've been 
wrenching on the 'Brier but it isn't quite done yet. 
However, we're not going to let that stop us, are we? 
Nope. I'll just load 'er up on a stretcher and carry the 
van and the museum diplays down to the show.

Most everyone on this list has seen a Greenbrier. Many of 
you have owned, driven and loved one or more. Me too! My 
current pet project is a somewhat rare light gray and 
white six-door that is getting closer to stock with each 
day that I work on it. I've had a lot of help along the 
way. My major "corporate" sponsors are Cal and Joan Clark 
who sent me several items to get the van up and running 
again and looking good. Thanks!! But the MuseumBrier is 
not the star of the show. In working with the Corvair 
Preservation Foundation I have gathered several unique 
Corvair-related items that you just couldn't see up close 
and personal unless you attend one of the MuseumBrier's 
tour stops this car show season.

How about the only remaining prototype Rochester Fuel 
Injected Corvair engine? Cool! Or, would you like to check 
out one of two known to exist 1970 Corvair modular 
engines? Ever see an aluminum case Corvair four speed 
manual transmission? They made two. We have one on 
display. Would you like to see a model of a 1958 Holden 
Suburban? What the heck is a Holden Suburban? We call 'em 
FC's, now. Back in 1958 GM used the code-name of Holden 
(GM's Austrailian Division) to mask work on the new 
Corvair line. The CPF has a 1/12th scale plaster model of 
a pre-production Greenbrier/Corvan proposal. You can see 
that at the AutoFair as well.

We will be adding more cool stuff as the tour progresses. 
But, I think we have a pretty good start. What do you 
think? - Pete "More than a Caveman" Koehler
