<VV> I wonder why...

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

Good question, asked by a lot of Corvair owners who know better.

GM made a lot of mistakes, and instead of defending the Corvair, which was 
exonerated by further testing, they tried to bribe rather Nader and 
discredit him, which didn't work out very well.

In fact, their attempts to discredit Raph Nader, discredited themselves, and 
made the Corvair look bad.

It's a long story !

Tony Fiore's "The Corvair Decade" or "The Corvair Affair" are a good place 
to start !

Can someone let our new member know the best book to read on this ?

The best thing is for us to restore our Corvairs, get them on the road where 
people can see them !
(not only in concours competitions where only collectors see them, although 
that's good too)

Hello to you all,

Since about 10 weeks i own a '64 Monza convertible in generally good 
condition. It leaks on one valve and there's a lot of oil everywhere around 
the engine, so I have taken the engine out now and want to overhaul it 
completely; will keep you informed.
Since i am on VV for some months now and have been reading about the Corvair 
and stuff a lot, i suddenly wonder why GM didn't do anything when that sort 
of highway committee had proven Nader wrong. I would have sewed his butt of, 
not only for the money, but that would have given them a giant positive 
publicity, even if they wouldn't have won.
I just wondered...
