someone spoke of uses for corvans-the most interesting i ever saw happened in 
new york city. i was there during the world's fair (64-65) i heard a siren 
near times square and when I looked it was the new york fire departments 
corvair.  i think it was a mobile photography/darkroom unit responding to a fire. I 
often wondered how long it was in service.also, I bought a rampside this 
february. I have wanted one since i saw them when they came out,  now my kids are 
grown and left the nest I could afford to buy toys for myself. it's a 61 three 
speed with not as much rust as you'd expect from a chevy truck of the 
60's/70's.  i went to a local car show for the first time last friday. the guys at the 
gate
had never seen one.  they thought it was a van that had been chopped and 
customized.
it drew a lot of  attention -made me happy. Does anyone know how mant 
rampsides are left.
here inc new england they rotted out fast.
