<VV> Corvair options

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Hey guys,

Remember that someone had to place orders for these cars, and that person was 
frequently (if not always) one of the dealer's managers or salesmen. So what 
you are seeing here is the result of various salesmen's ideas on what might be 
wanted by the public and what might sell. 

In addition, I'll speculate that the factory often offered *specials* on 
various options when they (the factory) got overloaded with excess inventory.  
After all this was well before just-in-time-deliveries of material from the 
factory's suppliers. Thus the factory ordered plenty of what their planners though 
would sell, and when surprised, had to unload the stuff. That might have 
resulted in options being added to cars in production that were not ordered by the 
dealers. 
Regards,
Bob Helt
