Subject: <VV> Corvair Firsts

Some time ago, I saw a list of Corvair Firsts, this is all I seemed to 
have
saved:


Corvair Firsts

First American Production Vehicle with all 'round independent suspension

First American Production Vehicle to use a turbo-charger*

First American Production Vehicle fold-down rear seat

First American Production Vehicle

*(Along with Oldsmobile in the 1962 model year)


Anyone familiar with this list, and can add to it?

Appreciate any help I receive.

Might want to reply on list, others may find value in this.
