The Chevrolet Corvair was a compact automobile produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1960–1969 model years.
All generations of Corvair represented one chasses with a rear-mounted air-cooled opposite 6-cylinder engine (of capacities 2,296 cc, 2,375 cc and 2,683 cc), “transaxle” type transmission and independent suspension of all wheels. Very pancake and low-set engine made possible to create commercial vehicles, wagons and even pickups, which did not have a bulged “hump” in the floor of the luggage compartment as, for example, a test car on the base of “Zaporozhets”.
In 1965 model year the second generation of Corvair was produced, which had completely a new hardtop body. The production of the series Convair-95 was abandoned the same year. Only the coupe, cabriolet and 4-door sedan remained from the vast body line. When a rear stabilizer bar and a new rear suspension with two shaft axles, each having two universal-joints instead of one were introduced, the tendency of the car to turnover at high-speed turnings was eliminated.
The production of the cars was stopped in Canada in 1966. The 1967 model year became the last year of the 4-door sedan. The model Corvair was completely abandoned in May 1969.
