[1969] Meeting of 1969 Corvairs-Knoxville,TN

[Mark Corbin]

Stephan and all,

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. 
Problem with the '68's is that they blend in too well, since the only quick 
way of identifying them is by the front marker lights.

Actually, I think owners of any of the three years do share one thing in 
common above all else, and that's the low numbers that were produced. It's 
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?

-Mark

To the Group of '69 owners on Respirators,

Stephan Spence here in Bossier City, LA.  I have not been active due to my 
work load at home and running a part time corvair repair shop here.  I have 
missed the last 3 National Conventions after bringing home the Bill Mitchell 
award for high points in my 1969 Coupe, which I drive weekly.
I propose this to help keep the group together as I know we are very fond of 
our late (no pun intended) Corvairs.  I will be at the 2015 National in 
Knoxville.  Lets at least do a 1969 Photo Shoot (did in Kentucky about 10-12 
years ago).  Also, maybe inviting the 1968 Corvair people to join us for 
camaraderie.  Yes, there are not a lot of '68 people that show up either and 
I talk with many and trade/sell parts for their cars as alot of these are 
interchangeable on both of these years.  With two groups together surely we 
will have someone that wants to do something to get us off our breathing 
machines.  I will write an article to Corsa and put online/website to 
promote my intentions if anyone thinks this is viable.  A little feedback 
will help.  I also own and drive a '68.
Thanks for listening,
Stephan Spence
