<VV> Best Minivans Ever - Corvair

[Rodney Spooner]

WOW! It's a very nice car. Rear mounted V-8 power AND 4WD. Exceptional. It even looks like a Scarab! But I'd have to classify it as a concept car, not a production car, like the others. Apples and Oranges. At least Tucker managed to produce 50 cars. Yenko had to produce a minimum number to qualfy as a production model.
   
  Airstream should have picked it up and turned it into a motorhome...lol!
   
  Vairy truly yours,
  Rodney Spooner
