<VV> Farmers' Smoking Corvairs

[Tom Berg]

Dan,
Well, I guess the filmed "event" was staged. The burning car was an Early -- a '63? -- and the wall momento was a Late with altered tail lights, maybe from a Mustang. 
Thanks for the background.

Mark went on the company's intraweb to research the truth of this ad for me. He said the real incident occurred in a festival parade in Washington State, but the car was actually a '79 MG. Whether an MGB or a Midget, his source didn't say. As luck would have it, the vehicle right behind the unfortunate MG was a firetruck, so the situation was handled quickly. I'll bet some spectators thought it was a staged demonstration.
