I had a VW bug back then and it was like a baby jeep. I remember one year when neither my mom or stepdad could take their big cars out and be on the road safely, so 5 of us piled in my bug to go to midnight Mass.

VW Beetles were excellent snow cars, until it got deep enough that the light front end started riding up and you couldn't steer. Corvairs were great snow cars, too. Crappy heat in both, crappy heat in general with air-cooled engines. The heater works in a Jeep.

You’re right about the heater. I had to save 1/2 the money for the car and my dad agreed to put up the other half (graduation gift). It was a used 61 convertible - he said I wasn’t going to get a foreign car or a convertible - ha!

Thing ended up being a bit of a lemon at first and then was a great car. Heater worked in the summer when it was 90 degrees, but not in the winter and the convertible top didn’t fit right in the front, so the snow would come in through the space. All in all, it was a really fun car!

Had a friend that had an old Corvair. Wouldn’t mind having either of those cars right now - fun times!
