<VV> Corvair Charlie - Fast and bulbous

[corvairs]

Oh yes, Charlie Charlie Charlie.  You know what I'd give to have Corsa 
people mention, talk and debate about my ad campaigns every time they 
get together? I thought that my many odd ad attempts might generate some 
talk............Do you realize that I've been in this club for 32 years 
and virtually 90% of the time when I'm with a group of  Corsa members at 
some point (usually within 10 minutes) Charlie  comes up as a topic of 
conversation?  You can't buy that kind of publicity.

The irony is, Charlie, who appears to have the most successful name 
recognition campaign in the Corvair market, does a reletively small 
amount of business. It's just his hobby.

When a few sour folks with no sense of humor demand that Charlie be 
censured he laughs all the way to the bank. He certainly knows, as does 
the rest of us, that Corsa is not about to do anything to him or his 
ads. Yet, hours and hours will be spent talking about - and debating - 
guess who?  Is Charlie actually the one behind the occassioanl strident 
anti-Charlie letter to the editor? He's got the brains for it.

So I know what I have to do. I would appreciate it if every so often one 
or two of you would write in a letter to the editor of the Corsa 
Communique demanding that a stop be put to Lon Wall's absurd dada-ist 
ads. What does a penguin have to do with Corvair parts?  And what about 
that three panel Gritzls where they never move or change? In fact all 
those ridiculous cartoons that have nothing to do with Corvairs but 
always end up by saying to buy from the Underground. What's up with 
that.? We are not amused.

Furthermore, I'd like your input as to which phrases and personalities 
you would like to see in my future ads -

Laura Palmer

Alice Lidell

Bob Terwilliger
Harvester of Eyes
Micky Finn

The Android Sisters
Buckey balls

These are just for starters. And last, for Charlie, this message -

Snarks run wild! Be genuine and  quiggeroo. Oft mild but wild rice is 
nice but Charlie is quicker? Urp. Send address .39 or post may. In God 
we trust in Edsels rust. Half down the trunk monkey. Burma Shave.
