<VV> FC's AS DAILY DRIVERS

[shortle]

Though not a daily driver, my wife and I just drove my '64 Corvan with factory camper 3,000 miles to and from the Detroit Homecoming while camping. Boy what a blast that was. We also will be taking it next month to Oklahoma for the Roundup and finally to Palm Springs for the Toss.
