[jt09330 at comcast.net]

Do you think a Corvair would be welcomed at a Corvette convention?

I'm with Al on this one. 

I think ONE CAR if they want, but the rear suspension display idea is great and there is the tie to the Corvair. 

I read somewhere the rear suspension design was going into the Corvair first, but Duntov was against it because he wanted the Corvettes to get it first and let the Corvairs follow the Corvette. 

If the Corvettes were to follow the Corvair design that would not work for the model "chain of command". 

  

No one wants to take away from the Corvair, but I wonder how many Corvair owners also have Corvettes?

Brian,  I am OK with Hugh Maquire's proposal, especially if the informational display includes the original Corvette-based Corvair show car, which was basically a '53 Vette with a fast-back roof.  It would also be interesting if the display includes an exhibit of the '63 to '82 Corvette rear suspension, which is nearly identical to the '65-'69 Corvair rear suspension.  The story of the Sting Ray rear suspension - the who, what, when, where and why of its development - should interest anybody who owns the second-series Corvair.  All I've ever heard about it is that it was developed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, but I doubt that he was involved in its engineering.  Al Lacki

Brian Hello. My name is Hugh Maguire and I am a friend of Jim Bengiovanni (Bay State Corvairs). Jim has informed me of your July convention and I want to ask if you would like to feature a special informational display of original Corvettes on or near your show field. I represent the New England Chapter of the  National Corvette Restorers Society [NCRS]              ----  http://newenglandchapterncrs.homestead.com/   ---The NCRS has an annual chapter requirement to have an informational display at an event organized by others. Our chapter could arrange to bring a few member cars and a NCRS  information booth for one of your show days - if you wish and if there is space available etc. I plan to bring a suggestion to attend your event in some capacity to our BOD in March. Any comments pro or con?    Hugh Maguirehulin127 at verizon.net 127 Coldspring RoadWestford MA 01886
