This is how she was found after being parked in 1959 by the original owner. She was buried in mud and dirt up to her axles and there was not much left from that point down. The DACC (Detroit Area Corvair Club) found her after they removed over 35 Corvairs and misc other vehicles from this barn and several others on the family homestead in Fenton, MI. At some point between when she was purchased new in 1953 and parked in 1959, she had a few Hot Rod upgrades done to her. There had also been some body repairs and we are not quite sure why she was parked for good. In May 2022, almost to the day that she was originally purchased in 1953, she was pulled out of the barn for the first time since 1959. Since she was a perfect candidate for a chassis swap, to become a Rat Rod, we scooped her up! She is about ready to emerge from our shop to cruise the roads again!!
