Vairs @ The World of Wheels

Post by 72BBNova »

Circle City Corvairs in Indianapolis had a 4 space display at the World of Wheels at the state fair grounds this past weekend. There were two 65 Corsa convertible's, a Yenko Stinger "tag #303" and a exploded view of a Corvair engine display. We also had a power point video running all weekend with facts, myth's, and some Jay Leno video's of his Corvairs. The club took home the best Club Display award for the third year in a row along with a $500 check. The Yenko won second place in the Production Road Race class and the two Corsa's placed in class and the engine display won first place for "Special Interest Non-Motorized display". Here's some pictures from this weekend. Jeff

Nicely done! I remember winning my class way back in 1982 at the World of Wheels when it was downtown at the convention center. Man it was cold that weekend! Phil and Ruby Riddle were there with their wagon but I can't remember who else showed their cars.

Somewhere I have a photo of my then 2-week old daughter next to my 65 Corsa at that show and she's 34 now.

Incredible engine display! So, how much traffic did the display generate? Great job and kudos to the CCC group!

Thanks for the comments guys. The engine display was a huge hit. All weekend long myself and other club members were talking to guy's about it and explaining things. Here's a few more pictures of it. Jeff

That engine display is great. As someone who's yet to dismantle a Corvair motor, I learned a few things just from looking at the photos.
