I can’t post phots, but I see your “simple,” and raise you no bodywork. I’m sure there are some sandrails out there without any lighting either.

Okay, that’s a good one. It doesn’t go UP AND DOWN, and doesn’t have a bubble, but it *is* a member in good standing of Corvair Misuse Club.

so?

doesn’t mean they keep the rain & wind out plus the engine in those was in production from 1960 (start of falcon production in Oz to 2016 when the factory finished)
