Welcome to the official web site of the New Jersey Association of Corvair Enthusiasts, Inc. (NJACE)

What is NJACE?

NJACE is one of the many regional chapters of the Corvair Society of America (CORSA), a non-profit organization that was incorporated to satisfy the common needs of individuals interested in the preservation, restoration, and operation of the Chevrolet Corvair.

NJACE caters to Corvair people who live between the Hudson River and the Delaware River in the northern half of New Jersey. But our members reside all across the country, from New York State to Florida to California. This is a very special car club!

 

What's a Corvair? 

During the 1950s, Chevrolet's Vice President of Engineering, Ed Cole, dreamed that America could mass produce a series of small economical cars and trucks brimming with great features, like coolant-free engines, four wheel independent suspension, unit body construction, plenty of passenger space, balanced braking, light steering, low center of gravity and more. 

 

Rear-engine design was the key to the concept.  Against all odds, Ed Cole gained approval for his dream car, and the Chevrolet Corvair was born.   General Motors produced 1.8 million Corvair cars and trucks world-wide from October 1959 to May 1969.

 

Remembering Ron DeYoung 

We are sad to report that our President, Ronald DeYoung, passed away recently, on Wednesday, February 20, 2008. 

Having retired just a year ago, Ronnie enjoyed gardening, woodworking, restoring cars (in particular his Corvair) and walking his dog, Tyson.

We all will miss Ron and his devotion to the club and his friends in NJACE.  In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Ronnie may be made to Tomorrow’s Children Fund, C/O Hackensack University Medical Center, 30 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack, NJ.
