>> Hi all,
>> Yes, the Pininfarina Corvair will be there along with the Corvair
>> experimental cars from GM: Monza GT; Monza SS; Astro I and the Super
>> Spyder. They'll all be part of a special "Rare Vairs" exhibit that will
>> also feature a Fitch Sprint, a Yenko Stinger race car and the Fitch
>> Phoenix.
>>
>> I'm sure that most of you are aware of the prestige and publicity that
>> the Amelia Island Concours has earned. The absolute cream of the 
>> classic
>> and sports collector cars are drawn there every year, and GM is noted 
>> for
>> its participation. To have the Corvair featured there is nothing short 
>> of
>> spectacular.
>>
>> How did it happen? Well, their Founder and organizer, Bill Warner, once
>> owned a '64 Spyder Coupe and has a soft spot for them.  He contacted
>> Larry Claypool earlier this month looking for the Pininfarina Corvair 
>> and
>> Larry got him in touch with Weston through me.
>>
>> It'll be a terrific show! Mike McGowan has the info and I'm sure he'll
>> want to run something about it in the Communique.
>>
>> In the meantime I'd suggest you don't all start besieging the concours
>> for more information since this info is ahead of their publicity and 
>> any
>> public announcement. That's why Larry and I have held off making any
>> postings about it.
>>
>> Dave Newell

>> More info at the Corvair center.  Short -- March 9-11, concours on the
>> 11th,
>> the very unique Pininfarina bodied 1963 Corvair will be at Amelia 
>> Island
>> Concours. This is near Jacksonville Florida.  Good excuse to go to
>> florida
>> in March.   Any chapters / members in the area should try to visit the
>> show,
>> and say hi to Weston Hook.
