<VV> stuff at car shows

[MarPack57 at aol.com]

This past weekend I attended car shows on both saturday and sunday with my 62 
wagon. Boy the stuff you hear and the misconceptions people have about 
Corvairs, even seasoned car guys. I've been letting people slip in behind the wheel 
as i talk to them. First you get "really you would let me do that" usually 
followed by "but everyone has signs saying "do not touch". Once inside the 
memories come flooding back. " I learned to drive on a Corvair" "I had one in high 
school" etc etc.
  On sunday the local burger car hangout had it's show.This show is usually 
99% streetrods but the oddity of a Vair wagon makes it stand out. As luck would 
have it I was parked next to a stunning 1961 Pontiac Catalina with a 
421/4speed and a 66 Mustang. The guy with the Pontiac could not get over how many 
people looked at the lowly Corvair with it's whopping 84HP. And the couple with 
the Mustang spent 7+ hours cleaning their car, all to no avail. Seems like they 
never stopped.
  Car shows are a great cross section of America.
  Oh and a fellow came up to me and handed me a NOS trailer hitch in the 
box!!!
   One or two more shows and it will be to hot here in Fla
