The Corvair was a daring new attempt for Chevrolet when introduced for the 1960 model year; a compact car intended to hold off the growing number of imports and keep buyers from looking at Rambler. Featuring an innovative rear-mounted air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine, the Corvair was economical and low in profile. Maligned in 1965 by Ralph Nader as being unsafe, the assertions made that the Corvair was prone to flip easily would later be found to be overblown claims and that the car was in fact as safe as its contemporaries.

This two door automatic can boast of long term ownership and is believed to have only 36,748 original miles.
