I was fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase a packet mailed to prospective
Fitch Sprint buyers in 1966. The packet includes:
- Cover letter
- 1965 Fitch Sprint catalog
- Reprint of September 1965 Car &
Driver review of a Fitch Sprint
- Photo of a 1966 Fitch Sprint
- Information on how to order a Fitch
Sprint
- Business reply envelope
Fitch "Speed" (Cover) Letter
This form serves as a cover letter for the packet of information sent to a prospective
Fitch Sprint customer. This letter is addressed to Mr. H. T. Pool of Palm
Springs, CA, and is dated January 3, 1966. It is a two-part form with carbon.
The Corvair Sprint!
This catalog describes the Fitch Sprint line of accessories and services for
1965 Corvairs.
Corvair Sprint
This flyer provides a complete reprint of the September, 1965 Car and Driver
road test of the 1965 Fitch Sprint. It includes a one-column, abbreviated listing of
accessories, prices, and contact info added by Fitch.
1966 Fitch Sprint Photo
This photo shows a 1966 Fitch Sprint with a cityscape (Hartford, CT?) in the background.
How to Order a Sprint
This sheet describes five ways to create a Corvair Sprint: ordering a Corvair
from Fitch, ordering a Corvair from Chevy and having it shipped to Fitch,
ordering a Corvair and having the local dealer install the parts, purchasing a
Corvair and driving it to Fitch, and ordering/installing the parts yourself.
Fitch Business Reply Envelope
This envelope provides a postage-paid method for ordering merchandise.
In addition to the six items above in the packet, I also have a 1967 Fitch
Sprint catalog, shown below.
The Corvair Sprint! By Fitch: America's Only True Grand Touring Car
This catalog describes the Fitch Sprint line of accessories and services for
1967 Corvairs. Included as part of a packet mailed to prospective Fitch Sprint
customers. This particular copy was sent to Sven Erikson in Sparreholm, Sweden!
The subtle differences between the 1965 and 1967 catalog are interesting.
