From 1961-1965 Chevrolet built the Corvair Greenbrier. Brooklin offers one in red and white and this one in white and blue. They also are about to release a camper version in red and white. For some reason the red versions lack the vent windows in the front doors which is too bad as the white and blue version correctly have the vent windows.

Red version missing vent windows. Small but important detail.

I agree that it's an important detail.

Red and white must have been a popular color,  NEO did theirs in this color scheme as well.   The rarest of all of them in 1:1 are the ones with side doors on both the right and left sides.

Missing vent window frame is easy to rectify.  Cut a small section of paper clip wire the correct length and glue in with white glue that drys clear.
