Subject: RE: BS: Oldsmobile Toronado
The missus had a Corvair at the time we got married. I don't recall the model year, but it was an early flat front model. For her it was fine as she didn't drive the freeway, so rarely drove over 35 - 40 mph. I had to put a bag of salt (50 lbs as I recall) in the trunk which was in the front to give the dang thing some stability at highway speed. Then, of course, I had to reposition the fanbelt which escaped its L-shaped path frequently. Was I glad to get rid of that piece of dreck...of course had I known it would become a collectors item, but who knew!
