Welcome to the Philadelphia Corvair Association
PCA is open to all friends and fans of America's best supported, and one of its
most affordable collector cars, the Chevrolet Corvair. A Corvair is not needed to join. If you are considering
investing in a Corvair we can offer tips and suggestions to help you select your Corvair. If you already own
a Corvair, we can help you enjoy your car more, through club events, cruises, and shows, in addition to technical tips
and support to help keep you and your Corvair on the road.

Well, the 50th Anniversary of the introduction of the Corvair has now passed.
I hope everyone got to mark the occasion at one of the many 50th Anniversary events. We had a good turnout at the
Hatfield show and there were over 37 Corvairs in Cape May for the celebration there.
