Steve and others who helped, esp. MarkCorbin.

Thank you so much. Adding all of that to our Corvanatics pages is fantastic! 
Like having our own encyclopedia/ internet library close at hand..

Great!

> 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

>
> I would in particular like to thank Mark Corbin for graciously allowing me

> 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

> 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.
