<VV> Year of the Really Earlies - and Music, Too!

[peter koehler]

Warren is my kinda guy. Earlies are cool, but the earliers 
are even cooler! Today I was working on my "the most early 
Corvair on the Planet" 1960 700 sedan at the Body Shop and 
was marveling at all of the interesting "different" stuff 
that this car has that the other earliers in my Cave 
Collection don't have. Look for a feature article in the 
CORSA Communique somewhere down the line. The biggest 
revelation is the fact that the dual horns are mounted 
high up behind the headlight buckets and the "Horn Slots" 
are just slots in the front panel. They are completely 
non-functional! Must be that Chevy made the change to move 
the horns but decided to use up the supply of first-design 
front panels in production. I didn't know this until today 
when I was able to disect one of three remaining "Slot 
Cars".

And to add some Music trivia to this post: The official 
earlies theme song has to be "Alley Oop" by the Hollywood 
Argyles. It was a #1 Hit Song in July 1960. "Look at that 
Caveman Go!!!" - Caveman Pete
