<VV> Car Show stoppers, was Drive your Corvair Day, missed the day but caught the week end!

Last weekend at the rt66 festival in springfield, IL,  5 (or was it 6?) 
Indianapolis Corvairs showed up to do the 5 mile long cruise to downtown, 
plus the nice V8 Vair from Wood River.   I joined the fun in the only early 
model.   I drove the early becuase it was a PG -- the cruise was just a tad 
faster than parade speed -- hard on one's clutch foot.

Over 1,000 cars that night,  the early Corviar Convertible caught the eye of 
many of the lady attendees.   It helped being parked amidst all the late 
models.  The earlies sure do appeal to the ladies,  it seems. the early 
convertibles are sooo "cute"   GGGG

btw:  Mike Meyers v8 powered late model coupe won 2 awards at the 
show.....best Chevy 62 and newer and the Wally Troy award.  Congrats  Mike.
