Corvairs in the wild
To borrow from the famous line from Field of Dreams, “If you build it, he will come.”… When you drive your Corvair, they will come. From far distances…. to look at and talk about YOUR car! New member Scott Lyon took his 67 Monza out to Goodguys this past weekend. No sooner did he get…

An El Corvino Story
New to Corvairs and never heard of the “El Corvino”? What is this air-cooled Ute and what is the story behind it? Much like the Corvair roadsters and “shorty’s”, the “El Corvino” was never a production car. In fact, it may have never been a GM concept car. It was, however, the brainchild of a…

Member / Subscriber Poll

Upcoming Weekend Events
Car show season around here is winding down… but isn’t out! There is also likely a “Trunk or Treat” in your town tomorrow for Halloween. We don’t have the time or resources to list all of those. Check with your local city council, school or church to see if there is one near you and…
