Corvair Exonerated! On Friday, July 21, 1972, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) - a branch of the federal government - issued a report on its two year investigation of the 1960-1963 Corvair. The report concludes: "The handling and stability performance of the 1960-1963 Corvair does not result in an abnormal potential for loss of control or rollover and it is at least as good as the performance of some contemporary vehicles, both foreign and domestic."

I never realized that all I ever heard about those cars was the negative press. Funny how some no-nothing dip wad becomes an 'expert' on a car when they really don't know what the hell they are talking about, and the news sells their agenda backs them up at every turn.
We see it today with the EV propaganda. Knock yourselves out buying that junk, I never will.
Back to Model A's--- a friend is restoring a '30 Coupe and he had a REAL hard time trying to find a cast iron sediment bowl. He didn't want a glass one. Those dudes seem to be getting pretty scarce! And yes I agree with the post about those in-line plastic fuel filters hanging above the exhaust manifold like the Sword of Damacles.... run
