Newspaper photo shoot

The newspaper decided they wanted to feature my car in their quarterly autos insert, so they brought a photographer.

Here are my favorites from the collection.

Nice, glad you got the extra visibility you deserve.

Awesome restoration. I was a tot when my parents had a corvair. I think we traded it for a Rambler station wagon.

My girlfriend in the mid-60s had one...called it a "bathtub"...we loved it.

Very nice, indeed! Had a girlfriend that had one way back when they were new. And before Ralph Nader declared the car "Unsafe at any speed" lol.

Very nice.

You have proof that cars could operate and move down the road without Bluetooth, air bags and computers.

I wonder if younger readers of that newspaper realized that cars back then had electric lights and were self starting?

Few understand that it is a 6 year old paint job that gets out regularly.

That's a handsome car, you keep it beautifully. I briefly had a '63 Corvair Spyder when I was young, back in 1975. It was a red convertible. I often wish I still had it, I was young and foolish to sell it.

I see you upgraded the interior, very, very nice. And replaced the generator with an alternator, a good move.

Curiously, I had purchased a set of "mag" wheels for my Corvair and they were virtually identical to the wheels on your car. I believe they were "Western" brand wheels.

These wheels are Rays Racing. I got them from the second hand parts shop. I'm going to strip the paint and polish the original surfaces.
