<VV> Car History Question -- No Corvair

[W Halsey]

Slow down and read carefully Frank----I said "Cars with four cylinders did

and Willys  to name a few."  You could add the Crosley and King Midget too
if you want to move down the scale------the King Midget was an air cooled,
rear engined car with all of ONE cylinder.
