We are the proud owners of the '66 Corsa Turbo convertible in the NAPA
calenar. The car is totally stock with the exception of a dual master
cylinder. The car was restored by Tim Cotrofeld and we have been enjoying it
since the spring of 2008. The car is Aztec bronze with fawn interior and
top. The calendar does make it appear more red than bronze. We are members
of Corsa and the Capital District Covairs and VICE (Vermont Independent
Corvair Enthusiasts). We run vintage NYS plate on the rear, but as many of
our fellow car owners, we do not run the (required) front plate. No hassles
yet about that. The calendar is done by a Albany based photographer and car
columnist, Dan Lyons. All the cars with the exception of the Arizona car are
Northeast based cars. The pictures were taken July of 2009 in a upscale
neighborhood of Albany, NY. The model, Jennie, was a local college student.
According to Dan 250,000 calendars were printed and distributed nationally.
I have several from vari
 ous places and have heard from people all over the states who have found
them. We have had fun with this and it all happened by chance when Dan
approached us at a car show at the Saratoga Auto Musuem and asked if he
could shoot the car. Thanks for your interest and comments.
