I think we've been down THIS road before. In certain views I think there is a 
LOT of resemblence between a Type 34 and a Volvo P1800.

I love Corvairs, too, and there are certainly similarities, but the only people 
who would confuse a T 34 with a Corvair would be US types whose horizons 
stopped at our coastlines and really didn't know Corvairs at all well.   ;-)

Didn't Ghia design all of these, and at about the same time?
