<VV> Battery area question/no corvair

[4carbcorvair]

There are a few cars built today that still have vented caps, and yes,
most are under the rear seat. BMWs IIRC. My wifes 2000 Bonneville SSei
has the battery under the rear seat with vents.

The vented battery caps were STANDARD on ALL '65-9 Corvairs, and meant 
to vent battery vapors out of the air stream of the heater. 

And just so you don't think the Corvair was the only GM car to use a vent 
tube on their battery, allow me to introduce into evidence Exhibit A, the late 
1990s Oldsmobile (Alero, I think) with the 
"$140-under-the-back-seat-battery".... I sold several of them while I
was at the dealership a few years back...
Oh, the vent tube would crack and customer would have to purchase the $25 
vent assembly.... strange bird, I say.
