When I was young I owned a 61 Corvair briefly. I had bigger plans than I did budget and never did restore it. They are neat cars. I never thought anybody did any kind of racing with them though.
Macybaby I think you made the right decision. Yes, there will be others but when and in what condition? I think you would be waiting a while before you found another one in good condition.

Finally back home - with three machines and cabinets, a new Weber grill and lights for the shed. A rather spendy trip - and I didn't even buy any fabric at the Quilt Show (but did get a new ruler - plus lots of ideas!)
The cabinets will get unloaded tomorrow - here are the machines
The Singer 24 - very sweet machine and the cabinet is nice also.
Singer 319 - This was her Grandma's machine, that her Mother bought as a gift for Grandma when the machine was new. This is a well used machine, and shows it - still turns nice and smooth, and I'm happy to have Erma join my Singer collection. The cabinet is the desk style that I really like. The machine is missing the bobbin case, but DH had bought a spare for my other 319 (green one) long ago, and the 306K I just picked up takes the same one (I know there are two styles, and all three take the same one).
And the White Rotary - that came in a Martha Washington cabinet. The missing parts for the machine are in the cabinet.

Great haul! I like the decals on the 24. The 319 was a great find too-especially in black. I'm a little surprised you didn't already have a Martha Washington cabinet. They turn up pretty frequently here. There was one south of me posted on CL for about a year for around $40 that just wasn't selling. It might still be available.
