<VV> Corvair Police Cars

[Jack Pinard]

Question answered previously. 
Factory Police Option offered in 1961 and 1962. Dave Newell has original brochures. No records are available of how many made or used. Also said to be dealer option.
City police cars in Fifties and Sixties were not primarily used for pursuit.
Corvair promoted "Here's new utility with practical economy" in '61. 
In '62 the theme was "Corvairs in police duty meet the requirements where maneuverability, ease of handling and traction are needed in everyday work".
There are brief listings and photo in book Chevrolet Police Cars 1955-1996 by Edwin J. Sanov, published 1997 by Krause Publications.
My project to replicate a Corvair Police Car for parade fun was abandoned last year. 
I just retired after 14  years my all time favorite cruiser, a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 9C1 California Highway Patrol car guaranteed by Chevy to top 140 for one hour, and clocked at 148.
