I found an old postcard my aunt sent to her brother from Disneyland, California in October 10, 1959. She was driving a rental 1960 Chevy Corvair.
She writes ; NO CORVAIR for me, drove in one for one day and evening , only thing nice is its legnth. Like a hunk of tin compared to dad's car. Bob's Volkswagon Beetle is a very well made car, lovely interior and compact - rides very well, easy to get in and out of. Almost twisted my back getting out of the Corvair.
Just thought I'd share this postcard with you. There are other postcards I found that mention tidbits about the cars they were driving or problems they encountered along the way.
