Why did he just pick on "The Sporty Corvair"?
What about
-the VW beetle?
- W108 Mercedes .
CORVette + Bel AIR = CORVAIR
(Chevrolet hoped)
By the time the Corvair was killed, in 1969, the swing axle problem was fixed, and they were really cool looking little cars by then. Too bad. I enjoyed hearing the buzz and thrash of those Corvair engines.
First commandment for Corvair owners: Carry fan belts!!
