<VV> Sighting and question

[Dale Gillilan]

Earlier this week my wife and I saw a nice, deep blue Spyder 
Convertible.  The driver was enjoying a rare Spring day of Puget 
Sound sunshine with the top down.  Since I am restoring a '64 
Spyder convertible, I was excited to see this car.  (Actually, since 
we live in a sleepy town on Whidbey Island, I am excited to see 
*any* Corvair.  It's the first one I've seen on the road here in several 
years.)  We actually saw the car twice that day, so we got a 
double thrill....

Now, my question.  I know there were 4,761 Spyder verts made in 
'64.  How many were made in other years?  When did they start 
the Spyder convertibles?  What got me thinking about this was 
wondering what the odds were of having 2 of these cars on one 
island....
