<VV> "Collectible Automobile" reader disses Corvair!

[Charlie]

That commentary does show the "depth" of the usual analysis though :

The Lancer had a nice radio?  I think he did a fine job of impeached his own
credibility, except of course, to the un-informed, who could not understand
any deeper analysis anyway?

As Darwin said, the educated will understand, the problem will be with the
less educated who will know it to be false, as was proven by the original
Corvair disinformation campaign?

And so it goes on and on ...

Well at least it sounds like he is almost over his problems. Maybe another
50 years and he'll be fine.

>The latest (April 2013) issue of "Collectible Automobile" magazine has a
"Collectible Comment" (i.e. letter to the editor)  singing the praises of
his parents' then-new 1961 Dodge Lancer and bashing his 1960 Corvair 500
four door that he felt paled in comparison.  As to the Corvair, he said;
"From the first day, I disliked that car.  The doors were lined with what
appeared to be painted cardboard.  The seats seemed to be constructed so as
to enrich back surgeons.  The shift lever was curved in such a way as to
overlap the front seat.  My folks' Lancer had an efficient automatic
transmission and a nice radio all of which my Corvair lacked."  He neglected
to mention that if he hadn't been so damn cheap he could have had an
automatic transmission and a radio in his Corvair and even opted for a 700
or, if he'd waited to purchase the Corvair until at least May of 1960, a
Monza.  He goes on to say; "The Corvair would go on to suck money out of my
almost-empty pockets...."
