Last evening we attended a monthly cruise at the local Sonic. We had the usual comments about Corvairs while displaying our 69 Monza convertible and one fellow who showed particular interest actually knew what he was looking at. On the other hand I heard a new one. An older fellow was looking at the engine and made the usual comment about how Nader got those cars off the road. Well, I began an attempt to re-educate him but it fell on deaf (and dumb!) ears. His last comment was the that the big "problem with the Corvair that got it banned from the highway was they couldn't keep axle bearings in them". That's one I hadn't heard.
So far the long week end has been great with hot sunny weather and lots to do in a drop top Corvair!
