<VV> Famous Owners

[James P. Rice]

All: The late Frank Winchell, former head of Chevrolet R&D, bought one for
either his mother or grand mother.  He was the guest speaker at the '79
Detroit convention.  Very interesting speech  about the car and the times. I
remember him saying "Would I let my (mother or grandmother) drive a car I
knew was unsafe."

Hope somebody recorded that presentation, but I've never heard of one
existing.

Did Ralph Nader or Steve Mcqueen ever owned a Corvair?  What  other well
known people own one of these fine cars?     Jerry
