Description
Chevrolet Corvair
In this episode, I cover the Chevrolet Corvair, a unique car created in 1960 to help meet the growing demand for compact cars. The Corvair broke many of the American car "rules" and was powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled flat 6 engine, the car also looked very European in its design. The Corvair would be produced for almost a decade and would sell very well, but would ultimately be killed by the more American cars of the Mustang and the Camaro.
Thanks for Listening!
