CORVAIR BOOK EVENT
Lifemobile tells the story of Benjy Bennett, an honor student with Asperger’s Syndrome,
who upon graduation from high school despairs that “there’s no place in this world” for
someone as different as him. But then his father brings home a “Deathmobile” – an old
Corvair, famously characterized by Ralph Nader as “unsafe at any speed.” When Benjy
learns that the U.S. government ultimately found Nader’s charges untrue, he decides
that the Corvair is “not disabled, just different,” as he is, and has been unfairly
stigmatized by a world that does not understand it, just as he has. t|The Deathmobile
becomes their “Lifemobile,” ultimately helping them both discover Benjy’s own uniquely
satisfying place in this world. Lifemobile by Jonathan Rintels
Friday, July 20, 5:30 p.m., at the Outpost Trading Company in Santa Ynez, CA.

Watch the video about the GM Heritage
Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The
CORVAIR gets mentioned a handful of times.
They have a ’69 Corvair; a Corvair GT; a
Corvair SS; a Corvair-powered Astro 1; and
an ElectroVair.

they succeeded in finishing the assembly process -without the help of any tools.
