Looking forward to getting together as soon as we hear all is well to meet once again. I will be participating in a Zoom meeting with the National Board to cover the guide lines to once again restart our meetings. At this point it it looks promising that we will be able to meet in May. We will put out the information as soon as it is finalized! Tom and I have gotten our Covid injections and our waiting period is over and we have gone out . Last night we met up with Sylvia and Don Harwick at the casino for dinner. We had a great time and it was good to be around people once again. Then today Don called and wanted to come over to our house and another experience we have not had in some time company at our house. Tom showing Don his new acquisition “The 1964 Ranchero” and just sitting around cutting up, thought I would put this picture in the Chatter. Tom and Don sitting together on the love sit. Sylvia and I were not about to give up our chairs so there they are sitting close. As you can see the Muffin man has grown some new hair on his chin, so now we have another fur face in the club.

  • The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation of the 1960S by James Kraus
    The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation Of The 1960s by James Kraus Chevrolet Corvair 700 Sedan The Corvair Line is an accent line that circumnavigates the entire vehicle, front, sides and back, visually dividing the body into upper and lower sections. It can rise and fall, curve and bend, but must be unbroken, with neither beginning nor end. Volkswagen Transporter While the Corvair popularized this motif, it was not actually the first to make use of it. While there were a number of separate- fender era examples like the DKW Wanderer, 1937 Ford Model 74, Peugeot 202 and VW Beetle, the first modern appearance was on the Volkswagen Transporter of 1949. Fiat 500 In 1957, the Fiat 500 made its debut with a single concave character line encircling the perimeter. This was the first use of such a line in a single relatively flat plane, roughly parallel with the ground on a ponton, envelope body design. The idea of a such a single character line uniting the front, sides and rear was a concept that was clearly in the air at the General Motors styling studios in the late ’50s. The 1960 Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles featured partial Corvair Lines, but the new 1960 Corvair incorporated the full all-round treatment in the form of a crisp deeply- drawn crease, deviating from complete linearity only by way of a slightly dipped section between the headlamps. 1960 Pontiac Bonneville: a Corvair Line fading at the centre sides and intersected by quad tail lamps. Fitz and Van illustration While the Corvair was not the first to incorporate the 360-degree accent, its sharp, well-delineated expression of the feature had an immediate marked influence on automobile designers the world over.
