And paint it green. Maybe I'll buy 100 Corvairs. Paint them all green and start a movement. The Corvair Movement...yea, that's the ticket....we will follow him from city to city. Haunting him. Everywhere he goes he'll see 100 green Corvairs...

It's all part of the master plan of The Corvair Movement.

| 3. I have always wanted to own a Corvair... |
|
...slap a "Corvair Owners for Nader" sticker on it. :evilgrin:
Of course...it would make more sense if I were a Nader supporter, but still...

I actually saw a Corvair with a Nader 2000 bumper sticker on it in Baton Rouge.

| 9. The Corvair Was Actually a Pretty Good Car |
|
The early 1960 models had problems with breaking fan belts and unexpected handling - they were fixed by using deeper pulleys for the fan belt, and changing the tire pressures to improve the handling. In many ways, the Corvair handled better than the Corvette.
The 1965-69 models were extremely good road cars. But they were killed by the bad publicity surrounding Ralph Nader's book.
