the corvair is one of the very few small cars over the years that escaped being tagged as a "cheap economy car". it was a gorgeous little car that had that extra something
The Ventures!!! I love it if only I had Doc Brown and his Delorian to take me back to those days where the cars were better,the music was better and certainly society was better great video thanks for posting👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Enjoyed this a lot. My borther-in-law sold his 1960 2dr coupe to my mother and when I got my license needless to say it became my car for the first year or so till I got my first Corvair Corsa a 1965. I even bought a converted corvan with pop top etc when I was stationed in Michigan. Lots of fond memories associated with these cars and music.
Well done! Fantastic sound track and beautiful snap-shots. While we think of the Sixties as a "simpler time", it really was one of the most tumultuous decades in American history. Kudos to GM and Ed Cole's vision with developing a simple automobile for a complicated era. Really enjoyed this production!
My single Mother bought the 1961-62 Monza Coupe floor shift Red with White interior (Nelson Pontiac, EL Monte, Calif.) when my brother and I were in our teens (Monterey Park, Calif.). ....THANKS ! !
I drove a 1964 Corvair Monza, 110 HP, from 1965-1975 and took it cross country several times. Memphis, TN, Jacksonville, FL, Anaheim, Pt. Mugu, CA. 120,000 miles. It was a great car for me.
Incredible collection!!! Stunt-show jump, one of my faves...who am I kidding about 100 faves. Kodochrome examples extra cool. Want a Corvair SO bad.JTOrlando, Fl
I also had a 1960 with a gas heather it didn't work when I got it,it was January 1969 had a new little girl baby.I went to junkyard w my Dad the hood was up on another 60,I didn't know mine had relays and a coil missing,I put the stuff on mine atill no heat then I saw this relay on ceramic block so I pressed contacts together&poof saw the little smoke from under car,INSTANT HEAT!😁,I was the happiest guy in town,I loved that gas heater,I put block of wood in relay it turned off with switch??,Not sure why relays job was?..Who cares I had heat😁.
@@motavaper2613 Not sure what your STUPID COMMENTS about but if its about earlier times we DID have PEACEFUL TIMES Before FOREIGNERS Came robbing looting stealing along with other violent thugs that have about RUINED our Country!. You asked for it!.
When I was in college my autoshop preofessor said he used to race Corvairs and win. He swore they were good cars. As he was the smartest mechanic I ever knew I had no cause to doubt him. However Ralph Nader would disagree with him. I was around Corvairs as a little fetus although I'm sure we never owned one.But I remember you could take the cylindars off that pancake six. I thought that was cool.I always thought Corvairs were in competition with the Ford Falcon for the ugliness award. However around 65 the Monzas were quite sporty looking. Thanks for the Ventures montage and all those cool pictures. Especially the ones with the pretty girls.Which are probably all in the old folks home or worse. Time is friend to nobody I guess.
Where in the world did you find all these pics ? Spring can't get here soon enough..in goes the battery..on go the wheels..off comes the cover....'64 Palomar Red Monza Coupe..YEE-HA!
My mother bought a new '63 Monza sedan, maroon with black interior, 102 hp automatic (mom's car), I hit a rock wall and flipped it into a telephone pole at around 100 mph. Totaled. Roof was crushed and pushed through driver's seat. I got out without a scratch but my buddy cut his arm crawling out through the glass of the upside down ride. Needed 7 stitches. My dad couldn't come to terms with insurance company so he made them buy a relplacement car. 1964 coupe 110 hp 4 speed. It was white with blue interior. These little cars were tough with fiberglass on sheet metal. I hit a Chevel in the rear (trunk to trunk). About $600 damage to the Corvair, $1200 to the Chevel. That was graduation night, 1967. Dad sold the car when I went to college that fall. He finally did something smart. Oh yeah, with studded snow tires they couln't be stopped in the snow unless the snow was so deep it lifted the uni-body off the ground. Great fun.
Great collection of images! A peaceful time from 1959 to 1964 yes. Unfortunately, the second series Corvair (1965 - 1969) did not enjoy anything close to peaceful times.
Indeed and although circa early 60's I was still a young boy, it was a much better time. The opening musical song was perfect, segueing eventually to something more mellow. I like some of the young gals in the pics with their Corvairs. especially the one at around the 1:55 point in the vid washing her car. Very attractive young woman!
I wish we could,I live in childhood home,it was a beautiful,Now NOISY mex. E,cans.have taken over I'm selling my home they have RUINED the area!. Last year they had a DJ&LOUD MUSIC Going& 3:00 AM!.,Of course in SPANISH!. SI SENOR!. Grrrrrrr!.
I owned a '62 Corvair with independent suspension. Being young and stupid at the time I took a sharp curve at 55 mph. No rollover period. Yes the car leaned and I mean l-e-a-n-e-d but that was it. As we all know or should know, Ralph Nader made his career in a lie that the Corvair was inherently unstable because of the suspension. Gee, what do you know trusting a lawyer, NOT!
I've got a '64 and a '65. There's something about a Corvair! Love these images....this video is a time machine! Cool medley....At 4:10 or so, I hear the song Bésame Mucho. Nice transition! Thanks, 1unsafe1! I'm looking forward to the other segments, too. P.S. How did you collect all of these photos? Just searching on the Interweb?
I had a 59 - 60, one of the first Corvair, it was number 14. I made the mistake of telling the guy who sold it to me how valuable the car was, and when I got behind on the payments he repossessed it immediately
My first car was a Monza. It belonged to my sister and she was selling it. My parents didn't want me racing around town in a fast car at 16. Little did they know that the corvair was faster than their falcon.
animalcorvair 🇺🇸 Wow! Add 2 more so that you have one for each day of the week and one for special events. 😒 I’ve always liked them but never have driven/owned one. Do you like them that much? 🧐 My dad had a 64 Monza, maroon, sports wheels, shifter knob, black interior...ran extremely well! What kind of issues did they have? I had a Fiero that was light in the front and hard to drive in winter, if you didn’t know what you were doing.
@@the.porter.productions been driving them for 46 years ,,had 8 ,, i have an 84 fiero,,too ,,corvairs are far better in snow but i dont drive to much now but still have 15 cars lol
animalcorvair 🇺🇸That’s good to know! You have 15 Corvairs?😳 Hope that you have plenty of garage space for them. I like the Corvairs. My dad owned 3 at different times. The one he kept was a 64 maroon Monza Spyder. That thing sounded really good. I don’t know what happened to it though. Thanks for the input. Have a great day and be safe!
FYI, the '60's were not a more peaceful time. Riots, assassinations, the Vietnam war, college demonstrations, civil rights marches...we thought civilization was ending.
Wow, brings back memories. My father had a corsair van he used for refrigeration service. Many memories of riding in the van when I was a kid.
So many happy people with what I know was a great car. Thanks for the memories.
the corvair is one of the very few small cars over the years that escaped being tagged as a "cheap economy car". it was a gorgeous little car that had that extra something
that was wonderful. I was born in 65. remember much of those scenes - shopping malls cars etc.
The Corvair was America's Porsche 911. (6 cylinder, air cooled, rear mounted engine and rear mounted transaxle.) ♡ T.E.N.

if only the weed was 2
I Always thought that the NSU and Peugeot 204 in Europe were based on this model. Still such a beautiful car!

I had a 60 coupe. Loved firing up the heater on cold mornings and getting that instant heat.

Had a 60 2 door automatic. Brothers had a two door 61 We bought our mom a georgious 66 corsa red with be white trim. Great cars.

Beautiful. Many thanks.
At 10:33 of the video, that is my 64 Monza with my younger brother leaning against it with his bike. That picture was taken sometime in 1970.
Great collection of images! A peaceful time from 1959 to 1964 yes. Unfortunately, the second series Corvair (1965 - 1969) did not enjoy anything close to peaceful times.
hideous they became

At 7:09 is a pic of my good friend Rod Bean with his then-girlfriend Lind. He's sitting in his Yenko Stinger.

Cool video!
I could swear the picture of the 63, with the girl with the beehive sitting on the right seat was my sister
Lol how did she ever get that hair inside that car?!
Nice job
totally cool!

give them more cred then a fricking falcon!
More peaceful time, at least on the surface. Peaceful for many, yes.
Some of these are funny.
Who did the Stormy/Traces instrumental medley?
+L Lance I usually use the Ventures or the Shadows but I believe that medley was by the Classics IV
+1unsafe1 It was the Ventures.
