<VV> For the Corvair Collector that thinks they have everything?

[Frank DuVal]

Well, I posted this our at the Studebaker Driver's Club forum and they 
say it is NOT a Weasel built by Studebaker.

Studebaker Weasels are not aluminum. And the Weasel has many little 
wheels to drive the track, not a few big ones. This vehicle was probably 
built with the Corvair engine originally.
