Your 1962 Corvair is needed for this display!
In 1962, Corvairs were available in eight distinct body styles and 12 distinct model configurations, more than any other year. We would like to have on hand one representative of each body style if not each model. This means we need a 1962 four-door sedan, 1962 two-door coupé, 1962 station wagon, 1962 convertible, 1962 Greenbrier sportswagon, 1962 Corvan cargo van, 1962 Rampside pickup, and a 1962 Loadside pickup.
If we are to display one of every 1962 model, then we need a 500 coupé, 700 coupé, 700 4-door sedan, 700 station wagon, Monza coupé, Monza four-door sedan, Monza convertible, Monza station wagon, Greenbrier sportswagon, Corvan cargo van, Rampside pickup, and a Loadside pickup.
We can easily round this up to 14 if we consider the Spyder coupé and convertible as separate models. In 1962 Chevrolet did not market the Spyders as separate models, but most Corvair enthusiasts think of them that way.
Add the new-for-‘62 Fitch Sprint and we have the potential to display 15 distinct 1962 Corvairs.
If you own one of these Corvairs and can bring it to the convention, please contact CPF President Don Kellogg by clicking this link. You can also get in touch with Don via his contact information as published in each issue of the CORSA Communique.
We expect the 2012 convention Car Display to be one of the biggest all-Corvair shows ever, and these 1962 Corvairs will be given a special place of prominence – but only if you make arrangements with Don beforehand to include your car.
