Default Fitch Corvair and so much more...

John Fitch was an accomplished race car driver, inventor and even unique Fitch Corsa Corvair.

The Sports Car Club of America noted that Fitch is perhaps best known for his international drives in Cunninghams, which he helped to make famous.
Fitch also developed the Fitch Barrier System, the sand- or water-filled plastic barrels designed to minimize crashes that are ubiquitous on American highways.

Thanks for posting that, Steve. There may be more to the article as the sentence on page 32 ends abruptly and it's not picked up on the other pages you posted.

There were more cars that Fitch was involved with, as shown in this link...

I liked the Fitch Firebird but the flying buttresses are not everybody's cup of tea.

Good catch, I checked the magazine and pages are missing 35,36,37 & 38. Magazine Rodding & restyling June 1966.
