We had a Corvair when I was a child.
All I can ever remember about that car was that it broke down ALL THE TIME!!!
My first was a '53 Plymouth 2 door Businessman's Coupe with 3 on the column, holes in the floorboard (which was neat if a girl was sitting there and the wind would catch her dress!), ugly battleship grey, but ran like a top. I bought it from a old man for $50.00, put on new tires (blemished tires from Sears @ $8.00 a piece), and drove it for seven wonderful years, put on 175,000 miles, and sold it to a fellow for $200.00. He still has it, and has 387,000 miles on it and only rebuilt the engine once. I smile a lot when I see it going down the highway.
