Pretty Little Red... Corvair!?!

Cute little model by BoS of another Motorama cutie. It's now parked next to my GADM Nomad.

My two Provence Moulage-Corvairs were built a couple of years ago.

Graeme, have you been ‘photoshopping’ again - no car can look like this ….

it reminds me of an Edsel I recently saw somewhere.

One thing Rich and that it stands up well to your impressive close-ups.
