<VV> Seats

[Bill Hubbell]

More Naderism.  Who are we kidding.  If you are really so concerned about 
safety we shouldn't even be driving these 40 year old cars --- or should we? 
As for me, I will continue to enjoy driving my Corvairs with nothing more 
than they were equipped with by the factory --- Love that 1964 solid 
steering shaft!!
