The killer giant horn assures that even those lost in the woods would find safety. Even while parked, this workhorse could still bravely serve those in need.



Divorce Doesn’t Just Hurt the Kids

One day it’s all flowers and sockhops and wearing school pins. The next day is divorce and cutthroat acquisition of an admired family car only to spitefully allow it to erode outdoors.

Outside. Since LBJ Was in Office.

Shockingly, this is the least rusty vantage point. Poor looker.

Remember when we were partying like it was 1999? Because it was 1999? That’s when this spectacular specimen went into storage. It ran when parked.

Di-vine.

Di-vine.

Like a set of fancy china that newlyweds collect and get everyone to buy for them and then are too scared to use.  So there it sits in a cabinet [a cabinet purchased just to house the china, for pity's sake] and goes untouched. Digression or apt simile? Probably the former.  Or wait– is this beauty more like supermodels/actresses who all claim that they were wallflowers/ignored in High School? Regardless, someone needs to buy this looker; get her running AND OUT THERE.

The bias towards daily drivers runs deep here.

This car needs to roll. Can’t you just see it? The fins demand it, danggit!

What do you suspect is this baby's MPG?

You are welcome, by the way, for avoiding any “harbor”; “pier” or “boat” jokes due to the girth of the featured beauty and surrounding cars.



Potentially Safe at this Speed

Just joking on the title of this post. Corvairs got a bum rap… no need to email “corrections” -slash- hate mail.  Greenbriers are particularly cool and a lot of folks don’t even think of this functional van when they recall the ‘Vair.

When I say air cooled, I am not referring to the great outdoors.

"Air cooled" usually does not refer to the great outdoors.

The lamps and the grill look good to go for a restoration project, though.
