The Corvair was manufactured between 1960 and 1969.

The models are split into two generations. First generation is 1960-1964 and second is 1965-1969.

In 1965, the Ford Mustang became more popular than the Corvair.

About 1,710,018 rear-engine Corvairs were sold between 1960 and 1969.

The Corvairs six-cylinder engine generates 80-95 mph horsepower which brought up its popularity greatly.

Some people called the Corvairs the “poor man’s Porsche.”

One pro is that they are a odd looking, unique car.

One con is they are unsafe at any speed.Another pro is they are an automobile.Another con is they were discontinued do to

safety precautions.

Corvair is the 1st and only mass-produced American vehicle offering an air-cooled rear engine design, unibody construction, factory turbo-charging, and 4-wheel independent suspension.

The 1962 Corvair Spyder, along with the 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire, was America’s 1st vehicle to offer factory turbo-charging.

The 9-passenger Corvair Greenbrier van is considered by many auto historians to be the forerunner of the modern minivan.
