... do any of you guys gave a GM car you don't openly admit to owning on this forum...
get yourself & you (old or new) GM car to Piston Ring on Sunday, and if you're early, you'll get a free T-shirt included in your goodie bag...

1975 Chevrolet C30 Custom Delux Pick-up! My dad bought it new in 75 for R4433.00!
We have an old 6 cyl. petrol engined welding machine (not working :( )from the fifties or early sixties that I'll try to fit on the back. Sorry now VW's this time

I've got a 1947 General Motors fridge, and it still works, serious! Can I take it to the show?

Pine don't mention that refrigerator over here, you will get some people very excited. As old is new here again, they restore old appliances and ask an arm and a leg for it, hell we throw those old stuff away and other people pay thru the neck for it. the stupidity of some people

GM made some interesting rear engined air cooled vehicles:
The Corvair,which was also available in RHD form in SA.(Think a forum member,Webster,had one).
Corvair had a flat 6 aircooled engine with fan horizontally above it.
Then there was the Corvair Greenbrier,an air cooled rear engined Kombi type vehicle.(Think it was only in the US)
The Ultravan,an aluminium bodied motorhome built by a small company used Corvair rear engine and transmission.

Then there is the GM PD4104 and PD4106,aluminium bodied rear engined buses of the fifties and early sixties,watercooled Detroit two stroke diesel engines.These are popular to convert into motorhomes in the US.
