Abstract
With my savings and with some help from my parents, I bought a new 1964 Corvair costing about $2000 during that summer after I arrived back in Dunkirk from Cleveland. I used this automobile to hone my driving skills (I took driver education in high school) by commuting alternate days with an employee of Durez who happened to also live in Dunkirk.
