Chevrolet Corvair, The American Car that Broke the American Mold

Chevrolet Corvair  In this episode, I cover the Chevrolet Corvair, a unique car created in 1960 to help meet the growing demand for compact cars. The Corvair broke many of the American car "rules" and was powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled flat 6 engine, the car also looked very European in its design. The Corvair would be produced for almost a decade and would sell very well, but would ultimately be killed by the more American cars of the Mustang and the Camaro.  Thanks for Listening!  Music: Dark Times by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3611-dark-times License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Surf Shimmy by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4448-surf-shimmy License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ District Four by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3662-district-four License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvair#:~:text=The%20Chevrolet%20Corvair%20is%20a,1960%E2%80%931969%20in%20two%20generations.&text=The%20name%20%22Corvair%22%20originated%20as,of%20the%20Motorama%20traveling%20exhibition. http://www.danjedlicka.com/classic_cars/corvair.html https://www.corvair.org/index.php/history-and-preservation/corvair-history https://silodrome.com/chevrolet-corvair-history/ https://carbuzz.com/news/turbocharging-pioneers-chevrolet-corvair https://www.carthrottle.com/post/a-brief-history-of-turbochargers-in-cars/ https://www.hagerty.com/media/buying-and-selling/yenko-corvair-stinger-auction/ http://www.superchevy.com/features/sucp-1006-1967-chevy-covair-yenko-stinger https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-23/why-you-should-buy-a-1960s-chevy-corvair-right-now
