<CORSA Chapters> Membership Chair Salutes the Central Carolina Corvair Club

[Scott Morehead]

As many of you know - one of the key concepts to generating new and younger members to your local clubs and CORSA is to advertise and expose them to the Corvair automobiles and its members.  By combining and or adding another faction to this and other Corvair Events - it will hopefully generate an exciting younger crowd and new members both locally and nationally.

Way to go Central Carolina Corvair Club !!!  
Let me know if your local club does the same and please provide any demographic or other information you have attained with the event.

Hopefully, one day the National CORSA Convention hosts will adopt part of this strategy and approach - It has been approached on several different CORSA levels over the years.  Cross your fingers.

If scheduling or volunteers are not available for your club to attempt to host such an event - please consider the additional revenues from the non-corvair particapant(s) to hire one or two temp staff personnel to assist with your needs.
I can't wait to attend this event and promote the CORVAIR and CORSA.

				The Central Carolina Corvair Club will host an open classic car show on Oct. 17 at Auddie Brown Chevrolet in Darlington. 

A total of 72 awards will be given in 23 classes at the show. In
addition, dozens of door prizes will be given to entrants. Awards will
be given to the first three cars in each class.

Auddie Brown Chevrolet is at the intersection of U.S. 52 and U.S. 52 Bypass between Florence and Darlington.

While the show will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Chevrolet
Corvair, only four of the 23 classes will be for Corvairs. All years
and makes of classic cars are invited to participate, although to
qualify as a classic car, entries have been built before 1985.

“We want to recognize the engineering advances Chevrolet made with the
Corvair,” Jerry Brown, club president said. “Although the Corvair was
only made between 1960 and 1969, it was the first rear-engine
American-made car, and it was supposed to be America’s answer to the
German Porsche.”

Four Corvairs belonging to club members will be on display in the Auddie Brown showroom the week preceding the show.

“We have some great door prizes, including a three-day, two-night
vacation for two in an oceanfront condo at Sea Mist Resort in Myrtle
Beach,” show chairman Bob Bloodworth said. “Pepsi-Cola is providing
their Pepsi Wagon for us to sell fountain drinks, and KJ’s IGA
Supermarket on Pamplico Highway is providing hot dogs for us to sell.
It’s going to be a carnival-like atmosphere.”

The show begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 pm. Spectators are welcome, and there is no admission fee.

Registration ends at noon, and judging begins at 12:30 p.m.
