<VV> What has CORSA done for us?

[Jim]

Are there any members of the VCCA on this list?  What do they require?  I 
can't
remember.  I do know that you can belong to them and not belong to a
local chapter, but I don't recall if the local chapter members have to
belong to the national club.  VCCA = Vintage Chevrolet Club of America
