<VV> 4 doors

[airvair at earthlink.net]

What you say about "4doors IN GENERAL" is IMHO a self-perpetuating myth.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and yes, I prefer 4doors. Noted
standouts (that are better looking than their 2door counterparts) are not
only the LM Corvair, but cars like the '57 Chevy hardtop and the mid '60's
Chrysler hardtop. But that's my own opinion. What isn't "my" opinion is
what I cited - specifically Bill Mitchell's design staff and (on the 2door)
John Fitch. So you're picking a fight with them as well as me. And since
they have more credentials than you, me, or any number of deluded lemming
car collectors (I'm saving 2doors because everybody does) combined, I have
to go with the REAL experts - those who designed the LM Corvair in the
first place.

It's just too bad that so many car collectors shun the 4doors simply
because they have no mind of their own. They follow everyone else like
lemmings, not realizing what a real value 4doors are. But I don't care,
really, because that only makes 4doors easier to afford, while giving me
all the benefits that the 2doors have AND more. And that includes the LOOK,
too. The LM Corvair is head and sholders above its 2door mate in looks. And
I'm not the only one who thinks so. Just ask Mitchell's staff. Dave did.

> Mark's absolute infatuation with 4 doors doesn't hold up in the car
collecting hobby. Sure the 4 door is more practical than a 2 door, but
artistically, generally not so.We're talking 4 doors in general here; the
Corvair is one of the better looking 4 doors, but compared to the 2 door,
it's second chair. Look at any price guide, and the 4 door is worth less
than the 2 door version. Why? Because collectors like the LOOK of the 2
door better.
