[AT] cold weather vehicles

[Bob McNitt]

Charlie -

A friend of mine bought a new Corvair in '61, and as I recall, it was great 
on snow-covered roads. However, I also recall it was a bear changing the 
sparkplugs.

Merry Christmas to all you ATISers.

Bob

If I remember correctly, when the Corvair hit the street in 1960, it was 
equipped with a gasoline heater due to no hot water with an air cooled rear 
engine. One of the early GM recalls was a change of the jets to correct fuel 
flow.
