<VV> Re: Oldest known Corvair?

That would be Patrick Shaughnessy's car, which he is bringing for display at 
the Stock Corvair Evaluation at the invitation of the Stock Corvair Group.

 Here is what he had to say about his car:

" My 1960 is cascade green and had a nice restore in 2000, and still looks 
very good (see attached pictures).  Also my car was featured in the Dec 2000 
CORSA Magazine on the back cover "1960s on Parade".  The article caught my 
attention because I have one of those "early early models" (VIN # 
00769W-100428) referred to in the article.  I haven't done any serious 
research, but the info I received when I bought it was that it was built in 
July 1959, on the second day of production at Willow Run (the 428th Corvair 
built).  My car has the horn cutout in front under the bumper; has the two 
drilled holes for the early parking brake (I have the early brake assembly 
uninstalled); and I have the rare first edition glove box manual with the 
early parking brake instructions., bill of sale, service manual & policy 
booklet (all original for my car)."

Rumor has it that the oldest existing Corvair will be
at the Buffalo convention.  I'm trying to get more
details on it, but I've been told this particular car
was produced the first or second day of production in
August, 1959.
