<VV> '69 Corvairs @ Willow Run

[Ken Clark]

I remember that in 1979 also, seems like there were quite a few cars set back for repair, either dented on the line or some needed an area repainted.  Interesting tour though, one guy said if you folks would have bought more Corvairs we would still be making them.  (Not likely)
