Firstly, a couple of pix of the Pinnin Farina 230 SL seen last week, and

My guess would be the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair by Pininfarina, not sure that the wheels are original though.

Well you won the cigar, That was too easy I did not realise that car was that well known.
I will have to pick a harder car next time.

Here's a link to another unique Corvair. This one shows the Bertone prototype known as the "Testudo." Check it out in this thread:

You Americans do funny things to those poor Chevs!!! Not sure which one is the worse looking, the Betone or the Pinin Ferina. Was'nt there a recent saying about a pig.

Naj, I thought that was the given on this forum, collection only at the next PUB.

Larry,  The cigars did not get out of California and ended up with Art's daughter and son in law who have a cegar occasionally.  I am sure they were good.
