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? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
