<VV> Corvair TH350

[J R Read]

To my way of thinking - no proof of course - the 1967 Camaro IS the 3rd 
generation Corvair.  The name changed - again no proof - so that the Corvair 
"stigma" would not hurt sales AND so that GM could continue producing gen2 
in spite of a well known safety advocate.

Strictly theory - no specific proof such as internal GM documents.

Later, JR
