Wow....how many of us actually know what a Corvair is.....I think your showing you age! :D My parents actually had two of them as GI's often sell used cars to one another as they move from AFB (Air Force base) to AFB.

You followed a Top Gear video with Jay Leno? You should apologize! :p Though in Jay Leno's defense I don't recall the Top Gear guys personally turning many wrenches either.

I, too, saw one once. It was primed but not painted and in front of the car I was in as we were passing through Detroit (summer of 1950).
