<VV> Lack of appeal - another perspective

[C K]

Interesting perspective.  While Corvairs may have not been as prominent as other marquees, they have been visible.  My favorite Corvair movie is Mr Hollands opus.  The same early Corvair is frequently shown all through the movie.  :)

Just for fun, check out this site.  It lists some of the Corvairs in the movies and TV.  I found it by accident.

Btw, My first Corvair was almost in the movies.  I was invited to take part in the filming of the movie "Air America" with my 62'.  Unfortunately, I could not get out of working that Saturday.  :(

Enjoy

Hi,

I have read with with much interest the different perspectives on why 
Corvairs might not have as much appeal as the Mustangs, Camaros, and 
other pony cars. One thing that hasn't been mentioned as to why the 
pony cars might have more appeal is the movies. Who can forget Fiona 
driving James Bond through the night in her powder blue Mustang 
convertible; Jame Garner in his Shelby Mustang in "Grand Prix"; Steve 
McQueen in his Mustang in "Bullitt"; Steve McQueen in his 911 in "Le 
Mans" (okay, not a pony car but still a darn good movie); Firebirds 
in the Smokey movies; a Charger (I think) in "Vanishing Point." I 
could go on, but I think that you get my drift. The movies 
glamourized many different car models - but never a Corvair. I 
cannont think of one movie from the 60s or 70s in which the 
protagonist drove a Corvair. I would be pleasantly surprised to be 
correct.

Just my $.02 - and just for fun.
