A View From the Front
By Ray Bombardier, BSCC President
Hello everyone and welcome to March in New England.
I’m writing this column on a windy Saturday afternoon,
February 25th and since I’ve sat down to write, the weather
has changed from sunny to getting dark, what looked like a
full scale blizzard with the snow
coming down sideways, (more than
I’ve seen all winter), back to sunny
all within a 15 minute span. Talk
about New England’s changeable
weather; you’ve gotta’ love it! I
don’t know about you but I’m so
disappointed that ‘Black Beauty’,
(my ’62 Corvair), has been in storage so far away during this so-called
winter. Actually it’s not ‘that far’
away but just far enough that you
wouldn’t just shoot over and drive it
home on a whim. It’s wintering all
safe and sound in my brother Paul’s
garage located in an ‘Over 55’ community in Middleboro, (yes, that
Middleboro, ‘Home of the Rotary’). It’s about 55 minutes
from Milford. I had stored it in a local Storage Unit type of
facility locally for a few years which was handy but also
cost around $500. per season. For a couple of years I got a
bigger unit and shared space and expenses with Mark Tinley
and his awesome Evening Orchid Corsa Convertible but my
brother offered his home garage as he winters in sunny Florida so that was too good to pass up, (for free). Rest assured
if it was closer I’d have been out there cruisin’ all winter.
‘Black Beauty’ has a good heater but the defroster leaves
something to be desired. Mickey & Minnie had probably set
up housekeeping in there sometime over the last 50 years
and left a little blockage in the hoses. This reminded me of
Tom Russ’s article last year where the inside of his Corvair
resembled a well shaken ‘snow globe’ when years of accumulated nest stuff finally became dislodged and shot out of
his defroster vents raining down throughout the interior of
his ’69 Coupe. Thoughts of having to go to a Taylor Rental
Center to locate a Hazmat Suit to wear while trying to clean
out the mess left from unclogging my defroster hoses come
to mind and I’m thinking, as long as the car’s warm the
windshield will clear in time. I’d never take my car out if
there was salt or chemical residue on the roads. There’s an
old saying, “be careful what you wish for as it may come
true.” That’s probably true here because if the car was here,
I’d drive it and who knows maybe I’d have an accident with
it, SO… it’s probably better off in storage until spring.
Coming up soon, Kathy and I will be leaving on vacation. We’re heading out on March 8th for Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina for a week. While there, we’ll take in an
all-Corvair event; ‘the Spring Warm-Up’ and plug our upBay State Corvairs VairForce
coming NECC / CORSA International Convention being
held right here in Sturbridge, MA this July. From South
Carolina we’re headed to Florida from the 16th – the 27th before getting back to MA on April 1st. We’ll be staying in St
Augustine for 1 night and 10 nights in Orlando. We plan to
visit with Chuck & Sharon Leonard and my brother Paul.
So stay tuned, next month I’ll see if I can put together a
report on the Carolina Club’s Spring
Warm-Up in Myrtle Beach and I’ll be
keeping my eyes focused on finding
any southern Corvairs as I send Dave
my View From the Front from Orlando, FL. If any of you have a reason to e-mail me during those 3
weeks we’ll be away, I will have access to the internet from time to time
and I’ll be checking in.
Before I close I do want to mention the CORSA Convention. We
held another Planning Session this
time in Southington, CT on March
18th with a good number of Bay State
Club members in attendance. It is
coming together but there is still a
tremendous amount of work that needs to be finished to
make this convention as successful as it could be. Have
YOU made your reservations yet? What are you waiting
for? FYI, the Sturbridge Host Hotel is fully booked and I
heard that the Super 8 is as well. From the last report, there
is still room at The Hampton Inn and I’d suggest checking
on-line at the Sturbridge Chamber of Commerce for the
names of any other hotel/ motels close by. Even the Chairman of this Convention, Brian O’Neill is amazed at the
speed at which the rooms in Sturbridge are being booked so
please, if you haven’t already, call and book your room for
all or part of this first ever New England area CORSA International Convention. It’ll be the place for anyone with an
interest in the Corvair to be from July 25-28.
Additionally, through all the excitement of planning for
the Convention, a couple of sharp eyed club members
picked up on a glaring oversight; on the last Wednesday in
July, the 25th, most of us will be out in Sturbridge. Oooops!
So for this July, we’ll look into backing up our Club’s
Monthly Meeting by 1 week to July 18th. Please note, this is
not etched in stone. We’ll have to check with Kevin, the
owner of The Tavern Restaurant to see if anyone else has
booked our meeting room for that night. We’ll give you
plenty of advanced notice so watch the back page of your
VairForce Newsletter’s ‘Club Calendar of Events’ page, to
be sure. Well, in the immortal words of one “Porky Pig”
when he said, “That’s All Folks”!! It’s bye for now. Have a
safe month everyone and I’ll be talking to you next month
from sunny Florida.

Club ‘Pizza Night’ at Doyle’s Bar & Grill
By Ray ‘B’
Where were you on the evening of Saturday, February
th
11 ? Well all the ‘cool kids’ were at Doyle’s Restaurant in
South Easton, MA for our annual ‘night out with the gang’.
Rest assured it’s nothing really special. In fact, it was first
started up as a way to get the club members together during
the club’s ‘off show season’. It proved to be a popular way
to break up the winter doldrums and get out for a fun evening with other club members socially and to bat the breeze
for a few hours. Of course the weather was always an unknown factor but I never recall one being cancelled due to
bad weather. This February edition was no exception. Although the attendance was down a little, we all had a terrific evening. Good food and a couple of drinks followed by
our annual invitation back to Jerry & Marcia Connors beautiful and spacious condo for dessert and coffee which really
fire going in the fireplace for us to warm up by. As usual,
caps off the evening. By the time we drove the ½ mile to
his condo, Jerry had flipped the switch and had a gorgeous the club came through and supplied desserts of all kinds to
share around. Elaine made sure we had a disposable table
cloth and paper products ready to make ‘bachelor’ Jerry’s
clean-up a snap. Jerry’s wife Marcia was vacationing in
Florida and he left the next day to join her there. Just
about everyone that came to Doyle’s came back to Jerry’s
for a couple of hours and for me, this is always the best part
of these outings where you can just sit and relax over a hot
cup of coffee and chat with so many great club members.
We always have the best times when we get together and
we can’t thank the Connors’ enough for generously opening
their home to our group year after year. Marcia, you’ve
trained Jerry well to be the perfect host. You should be
very proud of him!
For those of you who skipped or couldn’t attend, keep it
in mind to try to make it next winter.

Business, noting that he still considers composition and the
visual experience conveyed by what has become his pastime.
“It’s really like having a museum, “ he said. “There is
something for everyone here, young and old. Lots of people
would be like me and remember things from an earlier time.
Other people will learn about times gone by. Still others
would see things very popular or brought back today.”
Through the years Rowman has obtained hios collection by
attending flea markets, yard sales, going out of business sales,
the recycle center and dumps. “Some things I buy but I really
like to dicker.” he said. “A lot of things I just find. Today we
live in a ‘throw away society.’ One man’s trash is another
man’s treasure.”
Among his assortment of sports collectibles is a baseball
autographed by Ted Williams. Rowman found it at the dump.
It maintains a place of honor in a package with a vintage baseball hero action figure. There is also an array of Dale Earnhardt collectibles Rowman amassed following the racecar
drivers death.
Though objects in the garage span the years before World
War II to present day culture, the predominant decades represented are the 50’s and 60’s.
“That was my era,” said Rowman, who recounts events and
moments from those times with detail. He describes his
memories like scenes out of the movie “American Graffiti.”
The film is well represented with items throughout the collection. Mel’s Diner, drive-ins and old gasoline filling stations
are memorialized in photos, buttons, and figurines. Tunes
drifting from the sound system adding to the space’s ambiance Rowman identifies as “doo-wop.”
Rowman’s collection is displayed in cases, trays, and
cabinets he crafted from second hand furniture and storage
units found at flea markets and yard sales. Using discarded
CD holders, cassette trays and odd findings, he has designed
and constructed pieces that show his treasures complete with
labels, linings and stands.
“You have to be handy these days, he said, demonstrating
how drawers were identified and display cases rotated. “It’s
too expensive not to be.”
An entire wall of the garage is devoted to meticulously
stacked model cars of varying sizes with labels like Johnny
Lightning, Hess, and NASCAR. A walk-in cedar closet
houses Matchbox, Hot Wheels, more NASCAR miniature
autos and numerous toy airplanes. A section of the closet
door is lined with photos and mementos of Rowman’s service
in the US Navy during the early 1960s.
A herd of toy dinosaurs rules a shelf at the garage’s opposite end. A replica of George Jetson orbits another cabinet.
Numerous Smurfs are placed methodically below an assembly of Rugrats characters. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
rest against another shelf while a collection of toy firefighter
and fire engine memorabilia stand high above the other
toys—one at the ready stationed in the bucket of a battery
operated ladder truck.
Another corner tells the tale of American television
Bay State Corvairs VairForce
through the decades. Photos, buttons and toys representing
shows including Sergeant Bilko, Hogan’s Heroes, McHale’s
Navy, Gilligan’s Island, The Love Boat and Gunsmoke, line
the walls and counters. Hazel, Bewitched, Mod Squad, Starsky and Hutch, Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver and All
in the Family evoke thoughts of an earlier lifestyle and culture. The face of Dr. Marcus Welby smiles from one corner as
that of Howdy Doody laughs from another.
Politics does not escape representation in Rowman’s collection. A George W. Bush Halloween mask, Hillary Clinton
and Barack Obama dog chew toys and the iconic campaign
button with the sentiment “I like Ike” can be found.
An array of trophies from auto shows holds a place of
honor on one shelf. Parked outside in the driveway is the
awards recipient; a red 1963 Corvair.
“I really love cars the most of everything”, said Rowman,
pointing out the carpeted area of the garage where he stores
the car. “It has never seen rain or snow or bad weather,” he
added. During the warmer months he enjoys car shows and
competitions and travels to several in the region each season.
Rowman is willing to share his hobby with others who
would like to visit and welcomes Boy and Girl Scouts or senior citizen groups to discuss such plans with him. “It’s no fun
having all this unless I can share it,”, he said. “I know just
about everyone will see something that will trigger memories.
I see something different every time I look around. And it’s
always something that makes me happy, something I enjoy.”

Dear Fellow Club Members,
As some of you know, but most of you don’t, I am in the process of selling my home, McCafferty Manor, in North
Attleboro. I’ve bought a beautiful condo I’ll be moving into soon (hopefully) and will be moving the staggering distance of 1.3 miles from where I am now!
Unfortunately, I will not be able to keep both of my Corvairs. I will probably have to sell Miss Kitty, my ’64, but
will try to keep Kermit. So, in that respect, I am looking for reasonably priced (i.e. cheap) storage spaces in or near
North Attleboro.
If anyone can help me out or if anyone knows of any storage space in my area, or would like to buy Miss Kitty for
that matter (she’s a great little car), please get in touch with me at 617.494.7221 (work) or 202.957.4326 (cell phone).
Or send an e-mail to me at [email protected] (work) [email protected] (home).
Any information or leads on storage spaces would be most appreciated. And if you know anyone looking for a nice
little Corvair, please mention Miss Kitty to them!
Thanks very much.

Testing your Gas Gauge
and Sending Unit
By Jim B and Lionel B
Most fuel gauges
fall into one of the following four categories. It reads too low,
it reads to high, it
reads correct (unusual)
or it doesn’t read at all
(fairly common).
Based on our recent challenges we’ll cover options in this
article for an early Corvair. This model had a power glide
tance should be when the tank is empty versus what it
should read when full in photo #2. Both readings are approximate so don’t expect the exact same value as they vary
from unit to unit; plus not all inexpensive meters
will read as well as this meter. Next you’ll have to
verify that the wires to the gauge are not broken or
burnt out. With the help of a wiring diagram you
should be able to check for continuity from the
dash harness to the sending unit. Connect the ohm
meter between the sending unit wire and the brown
wire at the gauge, if it is open (you get no reading)
the circuit is open.

transmission, so we didn’t have to deal with either a clutch
pedal or a floor shifter. By the way, taking out a seat to
have more space if needed would be a heckuva lot easier
than removing a dash unit; trust us!
One of the most common problems is a bad ground connection at the sending unit. Using an ohm-meter check for
continuity between the ground wire connection at the sending unit and the frame at the screw (See photo A). If there is
no connectivity, remove the screw and sand the frame, install a new screw and retest. If it is good now then check the
sender, remove the wire connector (brown wire) and test the
sender from the post and the ground, there should be a reading. If there is none the unit is bad and has to be replaced.
Any reading is good. It will depend on how much fuel is in
the tank.
After you have checked out your existing fuel sending
unit and verified that it is indeed working, see photos #1
and #2, you can move on. Photo #1 shows what the resisBay State Corvairs VairForce

Now to test the main dash connections under the
dash by the radio. If that is ok test between the main
connector and the sending unit. On the back side of
the gauge (see photo #3) you see two quick disconnects. If you do not get a reading between the two
connections (photo #4) the gauge isn‘t good. If you
look carefully at photo #4 you can see a break in the
resistor below the two lower connections.
Get yourself a good light as the work under the
dash will require it. See photo #5 for what you’ll be
looking for. If you have a fluorescent light it will be
better as it won’t throw off heat like an incandescent
does. We were able to change the gauge without removing the dash on this car. First we removed the
headlight switch then unplugged the leads that are
on the back of the gauge. Now there should be just

Emblem Restoration
By Steve Silvia
Over the years I have seen many Corvairs with reproduction emblems or worse yet, missing emblems. Nothing
looks worse than seeing three holes where a Monza cross
used to be or a poor quality reproduction that pits in a year.
Now this is not too say the suppliers are making lousy emblems, just that many of them simply do not hold up well
when exposed to the
harsh climate we live
in here in Southern
New England.
A
cure is to restore the
original emblems if
you can. Many emblems that are exposed more, such as the Corvair Script on
the deck lid simply take a beating and are usually not worth
the effort to try and bring them back to life, but some, such
as the Monza Cross, the Corsa “C” and the fender emblems
respond quite well if cleaned.
You can begin by removing the emblems from the car
and cleaning them in
the sink with an SOS
pad.
(CAUTIONWIFE MUST BE OUT
OF HOUSE PRIOR
TO THIS!) An old
toothbrush and some
dish soap also help
remove the crude and dried wax. Once you have the emblems clean, allow them to dry. While this is happening,
it’s a great time to compound, polish and wax the areas
where the emblems where, this will allow a nice finish once
they are reapplied.
When the emblems are dry, you can use some 0000 steel
wool and clean them to a shine. If they have painted surfaces such as the 66-69 Monza fender crosses, these can be
freshened by simply spraying the emblem with semi-gloss
black and using a rag with lacquer thinner to clean the paint
off the surfaces. Don’t panic if you have overspray as you
can clean it off. Remember, most factory emblems had imperfections as well. The nice part is that with some patience you can salvage the
original emblems that came
with your car.
For the
110/140 or Turbo emblems,
these can cleaned the same
way. For the paint on
these, a small artist brush is
best followed with the rag
and lacquer thinner to clean
the edges.
Once you have them
Bay State Corvairs VairForce
looking good, now is the time to paint
the backside. Most pitting occurs from
the back out as moisture builds up and
has no escape. I like to paint the reverse of the emblems with black paint
to help longevity. On my 66, I used a
GM Duplicolor touch up bottle of universal black. This dried nicely and
came with the applicator brush which simplified the job.
Bear in mind that if your emblems are really bad, not much
can be done to bring them back short of re-chroming. I
chose to use NOS on my 66 but I did retain the front
“grille” bar and the Corvair scripts. To me, there is nothing like original, so I was glad to be able to keep some of
them on the car. Please insure when replacing the emblems
you use the correct hardware and do not over tighten as the
studs can break very easily.
Now stand back and check out the difference made in
such a small detail. If nothing else, the car will look better
just having waxed the panel the emblem was on.

History of this 1964 Corvair Convertible
It was ordered and purchased brand new in Buckeye, Arizona by Mr. Winston Nash (Deceased) in 1964.
Sold to Mr. Fred Millar of Norman, Oklahoma in 1983. 1-405-360-4189, frederickmillar @cox.net.
Sold to Ray & Cecile Moore of Gilmanton Iron Works, NH in 2005.
Due to the hot Arizona weather, it was ordered with velour seats and also three air filters because of the
dusty conditions.
A total reconditioning and paint was performed in 2010 by Cantin Chevrolet of Laconia, NH.
Note: It also has three bullet holes. One is in the back panel behind the rear seat, one is in the left rear
quarter under the small window on the driver’s side, and the third is in the right rear engine compartment
under the spare tire. ORIGIN UNKNOWN!!!
