In the year 2000, Collectible Automobile magazine published a letter to the editor from a gentleman who explained where the Corvair Futura really came from:


"Your article on Rhys Miller in the April 2000 issue was of great interest to me because I pulled some of the Kaiser Aluminum ads of cars in the future in the Sixties and threw them in a file. One of those ads is the Waimea, shown in your article on page 77. Five years ago, after restoring five cars, I decided to do something different. I dug out the old file, retrieved the sketch of the Waimea and decided to try to build it. Because the driver sits in the middle up front, there is no room for an engine up there, so I started with a Corvair Lakewood wagon. It attracts a lot of attention wherever I drive it.
