<VV> Early Model Premier Corvair Kit

[Charles Lee]

Didn't the Premier Corvair kit have a "frame rail" chassis with the engine
mounted between the rails (in the proper place though) ?

It was nowhere near the authenticity of the AMT models (any of the these
compact models) but it was interesting in some weird way, certainly
collectable to any Corvair guy or gal !
