<VV> Poster, 50th Anniv.

I also would like to have access to a good poster. There are not any Corvair
Clubs or shows in my easily traveled area so I haven't attended any "Corvair
" shows or events. I do however participate in many local all marques/age
car shows and promote Corvair and the Anniversary as much as I can. I show
a small poster with Corvair facts & myths, and answer lots of questions from
a surprising number of people who don't know what a Corvair even is. A
larger professionally done poster would be nice to help promote our car and
club.
