Hi everyone, I hope all of you have had a chance to look at the 
pictures that Scott Trunkhill posted at http://corvair.us/e/XL-100 .
You will notice that the rear fixed windows are elongated to 
compensate for the additional 5" in wheelbase length. I thought GM
was rather clever, in using 0ver 40 years ago, what we know all know 
to mean extra length (XL) and the play on the 100 versus
95 for the regular FC line. This apparently was an attempt to compete 
with Ford's extended Econoline trucks of the same era.
Unfortunately like everything else Corvair, the idea was abandoned 
when the FC line production ceased.
