<VV> Corvair siting on ABC-TV's "Pan Am" ?

[Charles Lee]

Mike is right, plus the tail has the later modifications, but how many truly
vintage 707's can be left ?

 

The "Corvair" details look like the hood is too long, and a few other
details (see link to image, below), but it has that same good look of the
late model (no offense to EM's !)

 

Maybe it's a Ferrari, Aston Martin, Facel Vega, or . what ?

Saw it and there are a lot of inconsistencies the little details, like the
707 they show has "sound suppressors" on the back of the engines. The
original JT3 engines did not have sound suppressors.

If my ID is correct, the late model Corvair was introduced in London,
England in 1958 ?

There is what looks like a 1965 Artesian Turquoise Corvair on the new show,
ABC-TV's "Pan Am"

The Corvair makes its debut on the street on the side street, right after
the "stewardess" discovers her "passenger" is her MI6 agent, after the
flight lands in London.

It's at about 52:17 according to my timer.

I believe Pan American World Airways was the first commercial airline to
operate the 707, on October 26, 1958, so this Corvair, if it IS a Corvair,
appeared about 7 years before actual production.

What else looked that good in 1958 (besides the stewardesses) ?
