<Longtime auto journalist David E. Davis Jr. dies>

As most of you know (especially if you were at the Lexington, KY 
convention
 where D.E.D., Jr. spoke) David E. Davis, Jr. was with Campbell-Ewald,
Chevy's  erstwhile, long-time ad agency, in the early '60s and he took 
credit
for the  switch in Corvair advertising from emphasizing Corvair's 
practical,
economy car  virtues in '60 and '61 advertising to emphasizing Corvairs
sporting nature with  model year '62.  Jim Bernardin, also of 
Campbell-Ewald has

an excellent  blog (_http://oldchevyads.blogspot.com/_
(http://oldchevyads.blogspot.com/) )  wherein he mentions, among other 
things
D.E.D., Jr. and
Corvair ads.   Specific thereto are the following blog posts:
