Chevrolet Corvair Photo History (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Introduced in 1960, Chevrolet's "Beetle Fighter" looked like a sure winner. However, in 1965 the Corvair became mired in controversy, due to questions regarding its high speed handling and stability. In spite of this the Corvair has become a highly desired collectible amongst many car enthusiasts. This book covers all of the cars produced, as well as the rise and fall of the Corvair. Included are production figures for each model for all years the Corvair was produced in America and Canada. Also features: year by year spotter's guide, comfort and convenience options and prices when first available, installation rates, power train specifications and contact information for parts vendors, clubs and other resources.
