<VV> Paint question

[William Hubbell]

Let me correct that.   From studying my photos of many Corvairs over the years, I think all Early Model brackets were plated and all late model brackets were painted black - likely satin, not flat.

Nope.  I do believe they were flat black for some earlier years, but for 1964 they were definitely plated metal.   I do not know exactly when they changed over so this would be a good research project.

Every one I've seen is flat black.
The glass BOTTLE bracket is plated metal.

Grant,

Do you mean the metal holder of the plastic reservoir?  It was plated - like
clear zinc.  I have an NOS one at home I could photo for you.

By the way, are you aware of the Stock Corvair Group?  We are a special
interest chapter of CORSA organized to research and address all things stock
Corvair and we have a special VV-style mailing list designed exactly for
questions such as these.  You can register for it here:

Also we have a web site:

What is the "factory correct" color for the windshield washer reservoir
mount thingy in a 1964 car? And, thanks for the information on the rear
springs.
