evening reflecting on memories of years gone by...

Cool. I remember those days. I was never a Corvair guy but my older brother bought a couple of them when he first got married. He loved them.

I had a 1963 Corvair Spyder Convertible when I got married in 1965. I loved that car because it was quick and agile. Traded it 1966 for a Buick Skylark GS 400.

I remember pops having one when I was little. He didn't keep it long. I dont remember why though.

Dealing on a used Corvair at OK Used Cars, Lynden, Washington?  I guess it would already have been approaching collector status back around circa 1990.

In my memory a relative of our family had one and they called it the rocket car.

Not sure why, though.  

You gave me quite a fright, when I opened this topic, Galen55.  I thought it was my parents, for my father had a Corvair of this exact color in which he used to go back and forth to work.  No, there was no radio in this one, either.  It did have a floor-shift four-speed, though, but it still couldn't get out of its own way.
