Corvair's by Lake St. Clair
Howdy all,
These pics are from a local Fri night cruz on the shores of beautiful Lake St. Clair which lies just to the north and east of Detroit. Canada is about 20 miles across the lake at this point.
Photos display my "64" Spyder Coupe, along with two friends' Corvair's, one is a "64" Monza Conv and the other is a "65 Monza 140 w/4psd.

It looks like there is a pretty decent 427 Corvette coupe (1965?) posing with those really nice Corvairs too!

It's a "1963" 327 Split Window. The owner says he bought 40 years ago too! Nice!
Sometimes there are perhaps 200 cars that show up, this is just a weekly cruz too! Definitely the Motor City at its best!

Nice. Mine is still up on stands cuz I'm too busy down state. I need to get up there and take a spin.
Re: Corvair's by Lake St. Clair
Very nice pictures of a lovely spot. I know it well, although more from the Ontario side. Nice to see spring finally!
Re: Corvair's by Lake St. Clair
I used to visit relatives in the area back in the 70's. Nice in the summer.
Those are what Midwesterners call "Summer Cars" since they only survived if you put them away after summer when the salt trucks came out at first snow. Every Spring there is a ritual to get the old prized car out and clean out the old gas, change the fluids, and get the car going.

Yes, the salt is finally gone (I hope) and the classics are coming out of hibernation all over metro Detroit. I have taken my Spyder out a couple times - running great, boost is strong. I need some repairs such as output shaft seal and while in there a new clutch assembly of course. It needs additional updating but overall very nice and clean example.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
