<VV> Can We Get a Correct Corvair Article Published?

[Duane, Jim (US SSA)]

Ah, keep it a S-E-C-R-E-T of how well a 'Vair handles!  It keeps the
price down. Besides, it's a GREAT ice breaker at oldies night!  ;>)

"...Dear Mike:

Thanks for the feedback. I've received many emails  such as yours. So
perhaps 
a story is in order examining whether the Corvair  received (unfairly) a
bad

reputation? I'll pitch such a story to my editor. In  the mean time,
thank
you 
for the insight.  

All the best,
David Menzies..."
 
I wrote Mr. Menzies concerning his misguided article, appearing recently
in

the National Post  
(http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/driving/story.html?id=f52edef3-
d58c
-
4eae-9e56-34586fe5cd3a),  whereas he repeated all the old stuff about 
Corvairs flipping over nearly  standing still, blah. blah, blah... I
cited
the NHTSA 
and subsequent study, both  exonerating Corvair handling. Much to my
surprise, 
and pleasure, he wrote back  (per above) with an open mind. If enough of
us 
continue to write him, and his  editor, there might actually be
published--for 
once in my recollection, at  least--the truth about Corvair handling. 
 
Contact Mr. Menzies at:     d.menzies at sympatico.ca       I suspect
writing 
him  explaining you are simply trying to help him understand the truth
(rather 
than  flaming him), might net the best results.
