<VV> Information to use in promoting the Corvair

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

It was also the first US production car to use "wide" tires... the 5.5 rim  
was FAT compared to the rims/tires at the time....

Dave  Newell might have this info handy, given all of the articles he  is
producing to help celebrate the Corvair's 50th.

First  turbocharged engine on a mass-produced US car? The Olds Jetfire came
out  about the same time...

First use in US of low-pressure sand cast  aluminum engine parts (see Dave's
article on this)?

Probably  more...

Subject: <VV> Information to use in promoting the  Corvair

I'm looking to create a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of unique facts about  the  
Corvair that I can display on the car during car shows.  I  want it  
for those times that I am not able to present the car to  those not  
familiar with the line.   I'm hoping to generate  more interest in  
ownership by non-Corvair people.

I think I  remember reading that the Corvair was not the first in some  
areas  like unibody construction, air cooled engines, and four wheel   
independent suspension, but there must be a way of expressing the   
fact that this was very unique to cars of the era.  I was  thinking  
along the lines of the firsts of cars over some threshold  of  
production, the first by American car manufacturers,   etc.

I have already created a flyer to pass out that has the NTCA  and  
CORSA blurbs and contact addresses on the front and the ten  reasons  
to own a Corvair on the back.  Driving/ car show season  is the ideal  
time to generate interest in Corvair  ownership.

I would also like to know if anyone out there has the window  sticker  
of a 1965 four door of which they could e-mail me a  copy.  I think it  
would be a great little display item to  attach to the rear window.

I won my first two plaques yesterday on  Fathers' Day on my first time  
to show my Monza.  The Peoples'  Choice Award and the Event Owners  
Award.  It's quite fitting  that it happened on Fathers' Day as this  
was the car that my father  had owned.
