<VV> Shows

[The Robbins]

I have taken DaVair to many shows once I finally got paint on him, always
get a lot of nice comments and even take attention away from cars worth 5
times as much but I've never seen another Corvair other than him. Some
history to bore you with.

I see this as a BIG problem.  Too many Corvair people don't drive their cars
or take them to non-Corvair specific shows.  Even at our club meetings,
there's usually only a couple Corvairs there - mine and Smitty's.  We take
our 65 and our Rampy to the local shine and show and even though neither one
is in great shape, people really seem to enjoy them.  The Rampy especially
gets attention. 
The fact is though, that unless you're already into cars and can work on
them yourself, you're not going to be drawn to owning a Corvair.  At least
with more traditional classic cars, an average mechanic has some idea how to
work on it.  I don't know what could be done about rectifying this, probably
nothing.  

They really are pretty cool cars and in a perfect world, it shouldn't be
that hard to keep people interested in them.
