A national convention is a great place for Corvair enthusiasts to buy or swap parts. The major parts vendors, Corvair Underground and Clark's Corvair Parts were in St. Charles with large inventories. So were the smaller vendors and individual parts traders, setup in two large indoor and outdoor areas.

Corvair Amblewagon

Spotted for sale in the outdoor vendor area was this rare 1962 Amblewagon. The ambulance conversion was one of only three units built by the Automotive Conversion Corporation of Birmingham, Michigan. Equipment included a fire extinguisher, an oxygen resuscitator, thermos bottles, portable First Aid kit, elevating heart patient cot with mattress and a collapsible emergency stretcher with wheels.

Taped to one of the side windows of the Amblewagon was a vintage letter from Chevrolet Motor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, describing the unit as a model R-1205 Corvan, bearing serial number 2R125F-100001 with special dealer net price of $2,070.89, special dealer net price on ambulance equipment of $1,567.43, and a total special dealer net price of $3,638.32.

Next up was a beautiful Greenbrier owned by Jean Allan of Indianapolis, Indiana. It bears the license plate, Last One, a reference to the last year of production of the Greenbrier; 1965.

The forward control Corvair 95 series was introduced in the 1961 model year, and is generally considered to be an early model, although it was also produced during 1965, the first of the second generation model years. Only 1,528 Greenbriers were built in '65.

Jean's Greenbrier was entered in the Street Stock, Forward Control class of the Concours d'Elegance. It earned a Silver award, racking up 90.10 points in the national competition.
