HI ALL,

For the past 15 years, we have been proud members of the Keystone Corvair Club.  Yes, you read that right- corVAIR club.  I bought a 1961 Lakewood Corvair wagon before I was even old enough to drive, fixed it up, and have loved corvairs ever since.

Two weeks ago, two of my worlds collided when the Central Pennsylvania Corvair Club joined me and some other members of my own club for a tour of our shop.  This was a part of their fall tour cruise, which included several other attractions such as the Flight 93 Memorial, Johnstown Flood Museum, Horse Shoe Curve, and a few other local land marks. We are honored that they chose to include us as a destination.  Below are some photos of our corVAIR friends in our corVETTE shop!

Thanks,
RJ

Me and My 1961 Corvair Lakewood in 2006 at the cruise in I ran for a number of years.
