<VV> Corvairs, rare indeed

[shortle]

I believe what Clark is saying is there are just not many on the roads being driven like there was 20 or 30 years ago. My wife and I drove my Corvan Camper last month to the Detroit Homecoming going just about 3,000 miles. We did not see any others parked or being driven until we got to the Homecoming. Then we saw a bunch at Steve Goodmans shop but no others. I guess the times they are a changing.
