Another -- and similarly maligned -- contribution of this inventor to automotive
history was the folding mechanism for what was at the time the one-of-a-kind
Beetle convertable's folding top. Recalling that the little Bug had served as the
'cab' for this trailer, he called the rag top a "cabriolet." This also payed a subtle
homage to his new ride, also rear-engined, a Chevrolet Corvair.
Hey! My brother-in-law told me he read it on the Internet, and
he never lies.
I can't wait 'til this long holiday weekend is over and they leave, in his
wood-gas powered Chevette. He says, "Screw the smoke, the fuel is free."
Yeah, sure. Meanwhile, I'm wondering where the missing dining room chair
and guest bedroom side table have gotten to. He denies any wrong doing.
