“The Old General Motors didn't get to the top of the heap by playing it safe. It was the style leader; first with the fins, the longest hoods, the big wheel openings created to give the look of motion. A technological leader, too, developing the high-compression engines and the first practical automatic transmissions. The old GM was willing to take risks: Remember the Chevy Corvair, the small car built with an aluminum, air-cooled rear engine? …it was an ambitious car, a bold car, a pioneering move. That passion for cars, that product and technological daring, pushed GM to 45% to 50% of the market. GM was unbeatable. So much so that the government even considered breaking it up to protect poor Ford and Chrysler." Jerry Flint, former Senior Editor - Forbes Magazine

It is well known that the Corvair broke the mold for American automobiles and today they deserve to be preserved and appreciated for the technological innovations; teaching the young enthusiasts. Offered as one of the finest examples of its kind, this AACA award-winning convertible deserves the notoriety. Originally sold by Gromley Chevrolet of Brookville, Pennsylvania, it has spent a life of careful upkeep and preservation. It was original optioned with an AM push button radio, tinted windshield, two-speed electric wipers, No-Glare rearview mirror, outside mirror, wire wheel covers and 6.50X13 four-ply whitewall tires. Today, it continues to shine and nearly nothing on the car has been changed or altered. It stands alone as a milestone example from which others can be judged.
