[FC] new resources on Corvanatics web page

[Steve Spilatro]

Hello All,
I'm pleased to let people know of another update to Corvanatics web page, where you will now find these documents:

61-65 Accessories Installation Manuals (FC sections)
62-64 Custom Features Albums (FC sections)
61-65 Dealer Showroom Albums (FC sections)
61-64 Finger-Tip Facts Albums (FC sections, all of 64)
61-65 Dealer Confidential Price Schedules
61-65 (missing 63) Radio Repair manuals  (FC sections)
1961 Chevy Taxi-Cab Brochure
1964 Corvair Model Lineup
61-64 (missing 62) Chevy Trucks Brochures

I would in particular like to thank Mark Corbin for graciously allowing me to scan many of the albums and manuals from his collection. 

For anyone interested in Amblewagons, I have also added from the Feb 1961 Funeral Home Directors Magazine a very early ACC advertisement introducing the Greenbrier Amblewagon line, and a short article about them.

I'm hoping the new Options and Accessories web page will be of particular interest to the community. This has been an attempt to pull together in one place available information on the Corvair-95 options and accessories. You will find here tables that identify for each year which factory-installed, dealer-installed and custom options and accessories were available, and the specific part numbers, along with hyperlinks to the corresponding sections of the Accessories Installation Manuals, original GM images and descriptions of the options, and links to corresponding sections of P&A manuals. I have also added some photographs of the different items, though not many so far.

Needless to say I would welcome feedback, corrections and additional information (including close-up pictures of options on your FC). I have endeavored to reference throughout where information has come from. That being said, this is a work in progress, and I'm sure there are mistakes (I hope none too embarrassing). There is not always agreement between the source documents, and I've indicated periodically where these occur and/or how they were reconciled. I've endeavored to sort out the FC seat belt history, and I know information is lacking here. Undoubtedly other documents I did not have could provide additional information on Options and Accessories. Also, there's a darn lot of hyperlinks on the page, and despite testing I suspect some may be bad (let me know). 

Here are direct links to the Options and Accessories page and to pages holding the various documents:
