<VV> Corvair : GM's "Problem Child" - Tampa FL News article -5999 or 6 to 4

[Charles Lee]

Rumor has it that 1969 Corvair #6000 was destroyed to avoid petty squabbling 
over it ?

Urban legend ?

"No one has ever seen car number 6,000 on the road," Covert said. "I've seen 
number 5,999 myself."

could it be that GM started with zero, and 5999 is the 6,000th?

Thanks!

Joe, somewhere in the middle of '66
