<VV> Corvair didn't make money?

[Mark J. Murphy]

I had heard it was the bean counters that kept it going for the last few
years.  They did better financially in the long run by amortizing tooling
costs (a 5 year process) even if the sales weren't profitable, and the
tooling costs for the late models were substantial.
