I knew a woman in Wichita who both the 1st Corvair sold there. She walked in at the first day of unveiling and said, "I want one." It took them 30 minutes to figger out what they actually had available.
She then spent 2 years having it worked on as they discovered new bugs.

Then.... my ex-wife decided to buy one (we were still married at the time). Picked one, 'bought' it, discovered the next day that the front wheels wobbled at anything over 35MPH, took it back to the dealer and stopped payment on her check. Later, she bought another one which she sorta kept going for a couple years till she wrecked it. (we were NOT still married by then)

I was never terribly impressed by them... they were comfortable to drive-- when they were drivable.
