  These highly covetted models remain illusive to collectors here in the 
Great White North.  We're sure they exist as we've heard numerous accounts of them 
being previously owned by relatives of serious old car guys (usually from the 
Rambler American Club).  After years of searching I got what I thought was a 
good lead on one...but it turned out to be a 66 Corsa 140 with 2 holed 
pistons.  Alas, it's feared all have been sent to the great boneyard in the sky long 
ago (after they were banned from the road in 1966 by David Suzuki). About all 
that remains of a ultra-torquey 4 cylinder CANADIAN Corvair is the rare 
snowplow option available in 1960 (See Bill Thomas car).
