>I hope you'll take a moment to think about Corvair 00769W100001, the first 
>production Corvair that rolled off the Willow Run assembly line 50 years 
>ago today. Next to October 2nd, today is probably the most important date 
>in Corvair history..For many years July 7th has appeared in Vair trivia 
>contests and people who really knew Corvair history have held it dear. It's 
>heartening to see more recognition of this important date.
> Willow Run management considered July 7th the true beginning of the 
> Corvair, and it certainly was from their perspective. Every July 7th from 
> 1963 up they issued press releases and staged birthday events. The topper 
> was in 1965 when America;s Junior Miss went to the plant and blew out the 
> candles on a birthday cake that bore six Corsa emblems on it instead of 
> candles, for the Vair's sixth birthday.
> I consider today to be a 50th Anniversary date....but whether you think 
> Birthday or Anniversary, it's just semantics..You can't ignore 
> history....this is a landmark 50 year date for the Corvair!
