OK, I blew this one. I did not get a front shot. I was on an urban hike this May and came around the corner and there it was. The group I was with made a quick left and I stopped to take these shots. As I took these, I noticed a Fiat sedan in incredible shape parked just to the left and I moved on to cover the Fiat. I will post the Fiat soon.
Corvairs have a special place in my heart, especially the convertibles. I once owned one of these as my first car. Although this one seems to be a 1964, I had a 1965 convertible that I purchased used from my cousin. My cousin tried in vain to not sell me the car. He claimed it looks great but it seldom ran three days in a row without a problem. He was right but I loved this car.
The car leaked oil, the front-end had to be replaced and those were just the major issues. The lesser issues I don’t even remember. I sold the car after two years and its fan belt broke the day I sold it. But that’s another story. I’ll add that story when I come across a 1965.
