The Corvair in Action! (1960)

★★★★★ · Great video! but poor review by Wedgehead · corsa · 2003-02-22

I found the video introducing the ÂNew Corvair very enjoyable. What I found annoying was the totally ignorant review by Wedgehead. Mr.Wedgehead ( a name I find very appropriate), rambles on about truth in advertising. Too bad he doesnÂt apply the truth to his poor attempt at a review. I find it unlikely that a college educated Automotive engineer (are you kidding!!?!?) in his and I quote ÂLAST THIRTIES (is that a new way to give your age? That means IÂm in my first forties.) would not be able to coherently compose a few paragraphs without the great number of spelling and grammatical errors…

People don't want an expensive, well engineered car as much as they want a cute and inexpensive one. This film depicts the 60 Corvair as a fun, safe and tough little car. I drove one for years and it was just that. Too bad the rear stabilizer bar did appear until 64. Ralph never would've had a case. So it was a $15 error that killed the Marque. I currently own a wedge, argueably the perfect fusion of engineering, performance and economy. (Powered by a 163 cubic inch flat six just like the later Corvairs). But, that marque?? also failed even in less time-6 years. As the son of a DM for…

I simply love the Corvair film. As a Marketing Manager for GM it is great to see the unique way we marketed our vehicles in the past. Keep sending us the great stuff! Buttles

I find it interesting that the scare that Mr. Nader instilled, is still carrying on. I can't believe that the majority of the people that defame the Corvair these days, has ever sat in one, much less driven one to the extent that they have first hand knowledge of what they are talking about. After all, production only ran from 1960 to 1969. I owned a 1964 Monza Spyder, and loved it, swing axle and all. Later, a 1969 Corsa turbo coupe. Wonderful styling, and the performance was wonderful. By this time, the rear suspension had changed from the swing axle, to I.R.S., making the handling a little…

Believe it or not, Very few people died because of this car. Same with the Pinto. I'm not lying; Sure, they were flawed, But not quite as dangerous as some would have you believe. Plus, It's quite a nice looking car!

First, this video is a terrific piece of advertising probably used during a car show or a conference. As a former owner of a 1965 Corvair, this video would have been a prized piece of collectable and certainly would be running on a netbook in the bonnet during car shows. Second, as I stated before, I'm a former owner of a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair and I have to say it was one of the best handling cars I've ever driven. The reviewer who mentioned putting sand bags in the bonnet was correct as the benefits were two fold. It helped keep the front wheels planted firmly and could be used when you…
