<VV> 1969 Ford Corvair Finger Tip Facts updated since 1999 Roster ?

[shortle]

"Ford Corvair"? For the record, even if the information compiled is 15-45 years old, there still is a lot of good information. I know Mark Ellis (RIP) and Dave Newell did a lot of research for this booklet.

>Sounds like a good idea. Looking ahead, I hope everyone realizes that the
>50th anniversary of the late-lates is coming up in the next few years. And
>the '68's DO seem to be a forgotten year. Almost as bad as the '67's.

>Actually, I think owners of any of the three years do share one thing in

>like there's a lot of '65's (more of them were built than all the rest of
>the LM's combined) and '66's running around, and everybody saves Corsas,
>plus, there were a lot of parts changed for '67 (many of which stayed the
>same thru to the last.) So you really have two distinct groups ('65-6 and
>'67-9) with the latter subdivide into '67 only and '68-9.

>Starting with next year's convention, CORSA has the opportunity to
>highlight/feature or at least recognize that the lates are turning 50. So
>for those with late-lates, notably '69's in particularly, the countdown
>begins. What do we want to do in recognition of this milestone?

>will help.  I also own and drive a '68.
