<VV> New Member and 'Vairs in Frankenmuth

[peter koehler]

Last weekend I was in Michigan working on a non-Corviar. 
We decided to take a break and run up to nearby 
Frankenmuth to check out the Friday night car show/cruise. 
The entire downtown mile was packed with about 2800 really 
cool cars. Of course we had to check all of them out...

My favorite was the original 1968 fiberglass flip top 
funny car Camaro with bow-tie power campaigned by Dick 
Harrell back in the day. It was brought to the show in a 
restored Chevy C30 hauler by current owner Bill 
Porterfield of the Lansing, MI area.

As we walked up and down Main Street Frankenmuth we saw 
one Camaro after another Chevelle after another Nova. Most 
had big blocks. All were cool. And the Novas reminded me 
of New Member Bill Sowerby's 1970 Nova that he had back 
when we first met at good old GMI in Flint, Michigan. Lots 
and lots of Novas and other Chevy muscle cars at the show, 
but NO Corvairs! I did spot a couple of air cooled VW's, 
but not a single Corvair. I hope Bill has given up on 
Novas and now has a Corvair in his stable. How about it, 
Bill? - Caveman Pete
