When I worked for Chevy the Trenton Shade Tree Commission was keeping their Rampsides alive because they were easier to park than a PU and landscaping trailer.
Ralph Reedman used his for hauling his sheep, so.iit was a Ewe Haul :)
My father had a 65 4dr and I had a 68 Spyder

Fun to drive at any speed.

The last time I saw a Chevy Corvair. I was ten year old and I haven't seen one since ( unless you count seeing some in a junkyard. LoL 😂)

The guy in the background at 7:22 I’m sure he’s jealous Dennis Gage is not looking at his car.

Corvairs are only appreciated by true car folk. I consider liking them as the gearhead equivalent to street "cred." My Grandfather, rest his soul, told me when I was young that if someone appreciated Corvairs, chances were they were a good person... I still think that's true.

Fun fact Joe Oros was from Romania 🇹🇩

The Corvair engine was a based on a Sikorski helicopter engine ….l found the 90 degree fan belt drive bend fascinating .The later models were down right curvy sexy

[@optimaprime8970]

Am I wrong or were corvairs unibody? How do you make it a limo?

[@rayunseitig6367]

I put 2 60lb.sacks of sand under the hood, for front end stability.

[@steveespinola7652]

A record player in a car, lol 😂 I can see why didn't catch on, sounds dumb for me for that Chrysler 300D I would've prefer an eight track player or radio cassette player.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Neither of those existed at the time.

[@steveespinola7652]

I know those didn't exist yet back then but I would've preferred those instead of a record player or just the radio only.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Reminds me of my mid 90s CD changer, or the 2000 CD player I later installed... ...skipped all the time, stupid bumps.
