'64 Corvair in the Great Highway Performers Series

HERE'S WHERE CORVAIR'S NEW HORSES FEEL THEIR OATS. The line under the car illustration that you may not be able to see says--[Nearly 19% greater power--for greater highway performance]. I remember doing this one. I had always had a soft spot for Corvair and at the time I was driving my '63 Spyder convertible. It wasn't red like this one. It was maroon with a black top and black interior. If we had had the capability to produce a good looking ad using my color I would have done it. My Corvair would really go and I admit I was too chicken to find out just how great a highway performer it was. I can tell you this, I came close to the end of what was on the speedometer. I thought the Corvette added some interest and was very much in keeping with the Corvair. On my family room wall in Michigan I have the copper proofing plate of this ad. Kind of an odd thing to hang on the wall but it goes fine with the several other old Chevy ad illustrations. I never tire looking at them.
