Jairus Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The car I first drove was a 66 Corsa "Sprint". (Let you search out that one) So I have a soft spot in my heart for all things Corvair. Also love CARtoons Mag, and George Lemmons so this image was and is one of my favs.... Enjoy you pancake engine nut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Jairus, yeah I like it! Is that done digitally? I don't view the board by "new posts" so it was by chance that I found this. Any other air-cooled rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well, if you don't look for updates in all sections of this forum then you miss a LOT! I read all sections including trucks and even most of Evilone's posts... lol. Heck, I love anything from Pinto to Lambo! The image started as a line drawing done in the style of George Lemmons and airbrushed in Photoshop. So yes, it is is digital and was printed in one of MCM's annual calendars. That is... back when we had calendars. Tho, I don't think it was intended to be aircooled. Although I loved the pancake 6, and field stripping the fuel pump with a bottle opener ended up being a piece of cake.... I prefer the much better design of a good 302 Ford small block. No offense, but the design is simpler and leaks oil a darned sight less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That's HILARIOUS!!! I love it Jairus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Corvairs were a regular part of my growing up as I had an uncle that I believe owned every version Corvair made at one time or another. Unfortunately, he recently passed away this past summer. He still owned at the time of his passing, a 1966 Corvair Monza Coupe which was in EXCELLENT shape! One thing that sticks in my mind about Corvairs as a kid, is how they started. The sound they make when starting up is very unique and one could close their eyes and tell a Corvair firing up. Kind of "Badip-Badip-Badip" starter sound for those old enough to remember these unique cars on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
