<VV> Classic Corvairs (humor?)

[Dennis & Debbie PLEAU]

The Milestone car club (I hope that's the right one) has designated some 
corvairs as classics.  I think it was Spyders and CORSAs but it may be more. 
  I dropped my membership when they doubled the dues 10 or 12 years ago and 
they used most of the money for lavish parties for the "in" people.
