Third Annual "Air Cooled at the Orchard" All Corvair Car Show-Lyman's Orchards, August 27

You won't want to miss this event! This is one of only 22 events slated by the organization across the country this season and the only event slated for Connecticut! It's as  close as you will get to seeing the top cars in the country, without going to Michigan to the Corvair Museum!

What is a Corvair? THE car to own in 1960, according to Time Magazine, and Motor Trend-which named the Corvair as the Car of the Year! Bad press was  initiated some years later, by Ralph Nadar, who proclaimed them unsafe due to speed. Production ceased in 1969.

The "All-Corvair" show is 0pen to all stock and modified Corvair powered and bodied vehicles!!!!
