I have a vivid recollection of the view from the back seat as my father
test-drove the then-new Corvair in October of 1959. Since Harry Truman
was President when I was born, yes, I know that I am old.
When I entered college, the campus store had a display case full of
slide rules. When I graduated, that same display case was full of Texas
Instruments calculators.
I drove a Corvair as I entered college and I drove a Corvair as I graduated.
