Corvair . US

Welcome to Corvair . US

Submitted by trunk37 on Wed, 2010-02-17 23:24

Welcome to the newest version of Corvair.US. This is the first major update to the site since it first launched nearly eight years ago.

There are still some items under construction and it will be an evolving Web site. This version is built on an open source content management platform called Drupal. For you non-Techies out there that means that it is much easier for me to add updates and for me to allow others to post information to the site.

Currently any one that comes to the site can help with the photo tagging. If you register for an account on most of the photo information pages you will see an edit tab. If you click on it you will get a form which will allow you to edit the categories for that photo. The current categories are: year, body style, model and tags. Tags allows you to select more than one term to describe what is shown in the photo. If you have a suggestion on either another category to add or a term to add to the tags selection let me know and I will consider them.

Once you create an account and post your own stories and photos. Because of spammer issues with other sites I have I currently have it setup where I have to approve new members. If I don't get your account activated in a couple of days send me an email. scott (at) trunkhill dot com

Help with photo tagging

Submitted by trunk37 on Thu, 2010-02-18 23:04

Over the last ten years of Corvair events I have attended I have taken literally thousands of photos. You can see them here Photo Galleries. With the change in this site to a more dynamic site which allows users to add and update content I finally have a Web site where these photos can be tagged so they are more useful to the users of this Web site.

Corvair Museum - 2007

The Corvair Museum was formed in 1994 to house and display Corvair historical and educational material. Property and income for the museum are solely from donations, primarily from CORSA members. Other individuals and organizations have contributed or provided items on loan to the museum. Exhibits at the museum include vehicles, mechanical displays, literature and artwork.

General Motors Heritage Center Tour

The Heritage Center, which is in an industrial park in Sterling Heights just north of the GM Technical Center, is designed to help GM employees, scholars, analysts and the media with researching the company's rich history.

Among the vehicles housed at the center are past and current concept vehicles and historically significant vehicles from various eras such as the 1931 V-16 Cadillac, 1949 Buick Roadmaster, and 1953 Chevrolet Corvette.

Held in Raleigh, NC
October 24-26, 2008.

It was a good but rainy weekend in Raleigh for the 32nd annual Fall Corvair Affair hosted by CORSA/NC.

The weekend started with a cruise in Friday night to the local Sonic. About the time that was winding down it started raining. The nights entertainment was a movie in the hospitality room.
