<VV> Corvair recognized as entry level collectible

[Harry Yarnell]

Yes, I remember it well. Carol was with Group Corvair, and I was with
Chesapeake, and both clubs lobbied the DMV to allow the Corvair antique
status.
Slight correction here; the requirements at the time for antique status was
it had to be 25 years or older for historic tags. The new provisions were
for cars no longer in production, regardless of age, be granted antiques. I
think the issue was that, yes, the corvair was no longer made, but the
parent, Chevrolet was. A grey area.

FYI, 
The very first car added to the State of Maryland Antique Car list in the
late '70s [CARS APPROVED FOR ANTIQUE CAR STATUS WITHOUT REVIEW ] was the
Corvair. This was when they first instituted Antique car tags.
