Find out more about Perry: Perry is a rather prolific writer who authored an automotive book on his favorite classic car, the Chevrolet Corvair made from 1960-69. It remains America's only rear engine aircooled car modeled after the Porshe. Perry's first interest in the car was as a boy in the mid-60s when his parents brought one home. Since then, he has owned, repaired, bought them online. Corvair is unique in automotive history and over 1.5 million were made. The history of the car is interesting and owning one is even more so but requires special knowledge when working on them and Perry can help with many of the restoration issues many newbies have. Like any classic car, it pays to "do it" yourself. |
