The Infamous Corvair

[Walter C]

Still a lot of collectors of these cars whose demise came at the hands of Ralph Nader. Here's a customized V-8

Great pictures Walter. Thanks for sharing. A friend way back when a Corvair (last gen.) with 4 X 1 bbl carbs....beautiful car, but would throw fan belts...had a convolouted journey...those Corvair fan belts...another buddy drove a Corvair pickup for a Chev dealer...they used it to deliver parts.

Thanks, lesmore49. I see a fair number of Corvairs in this area, considering that they stopped making them nearly 50 years ago.

Thanks Walter; brought back a lot of memories.

Your welcome Walter. I've always like the Corvair, especially the later models, particularly the Spyder. I've always thought it was a bit maligned.

I never had one, but spent a good amount of time in a friends sporting Corvair...2 door HT, 4 carb engine, 4 speed. It was one of the last (68-69) and I recall how beautiful it was and what a sporting car it was...handling and acceleration.

I'd love to have one of those pickups in decent shape...

Great series, Walter...!
