Day at  the Museum 
The  Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA is one of the premiere automotive 
museums in  the United States.  It is associated  with the Smithsonian 
Institute and often shares automotive oriented exhibits. On  Saturday, September 
25th, Corsa SFBA and Silicon Valley Corsa members visited  the Museum and, as a 
part of the visit, displayed six Corvairs in the in the  foyer in front of 
the museum entry. A lone Rampside and the five late models  might have 
confused Museum attendees , had not the owners explained to the  dozens of 
curious onlookers the early model -late model breakdown.  Prominent on the cars 
were the  50th anniversary logos based on the CPF coin design.  An SFBA 
member, Fred Garrity, is a docent  at the Blackhawk and took the group on a great 
tour of the facility. With a 90  plus temp outside, and a cool museum 
inside, the clubs took their time  completing the facility, but exited and enjoyed 
a great lunch nearby, and a  quick trip home.  Later in the day,  several 
members displayed their cars at a Los Gatos car show. I took the  opportunity 
to drive my street Monza to the museum and back, with only a  recalcitrant 
E-clip on the Powerglide keeping me on my toes in traffic. All in  all, it 
was a great day to drive and show your Corvair.
