Now my  wife well knew that her Corvair was air-cooled, but wanted to teach 
this guy a  lesson.  Sure of an easy sale, he followed her out of the 
store, took one  look at the Corvair, uttered an expletive and beat a hasty 
retreat back inside  the store.
Thanks for bringing back the  memory!

Happened to my mother with her second Corvair--a '63 Monza--but the kid  
actually put the antifreeze in the oil filler.  She was half a block from  
home and she actually made it.  I happened to be visiting when she proudly  
told me she was ready for winter with her antifreeze, but the engine was 
bucking  and needed a tuneup.  Of course I drained it, changed the oil and filter  
and went to see the mechanic at the shop who promptly demoted the kid down 
to  pump jockey.  The young guy took so much razzing from the other  guys he 
quit later.
