<VV> Cave Chapter of CORSA

[peter koehler]

Harry is correct. I am listed as the contact person for 
the Caveman group within the CORSA organization. Several 
years ago the founder of the chapter (Allen?) had not sent 
in the required update report and the chapter was in 
danger of being dropped from the roles. Mike and Harry 
clued me in before that happened and that is how my name 
and address got listed in the chapter info area.

There was also a Yahoo Groups that was centered around the 
1960 model year of the Corvair. That, too has lost its 
luster and now is dormant. But it looks like there might 
be some interest sparked as of late. I am definitely 
interested in all things Cave related and would like to 
either join or lead the charge. My current collection of 
Corvairs is heavily weighted toward the 1960 vehicles. I 
have eight. I love them all! This afternoon while the 
weather out here in western Pennsylvania was improving I 
did get a chance to work on the most recent addition to 
the stable; a 500 sedan built in late October 1959. I 
installed one of my favorite things about '60's - wide 
whitewalls! With the addition of the factory bow tie trim 
rings and a set of dog dish hub caps my sedan looks much 
better now. The folks at Clark's Corvair Parts fixed me up 
with a correct factory front seat upholstery (thanks, 
Mark!!) and that is the next bit to get installed. I will 
be styling!

Back to the club. We should develop a list of owners and 
data on their vehicles (this was started way back when). 
I'd love to see a website specific to the CaveMobiles out 
there. Now that I am retired I should have more spare time 
to take up things like learning how to do web publishing. 
So far I haven't found that elusive spare time thing. 
Perhaps after the Holidays I could buckle down and learn 
from someone and then start a Caveman Corvairs web page. 
Any teachers out there?

For the rest of you out there please remember, ALL 
Corvairs are neat. Some of us just like the original 
edition more than the modern versions. - Caveman Pete in
