The golden age of the rear-engined car
Here's an early 1960s Chevrolet Corvair with rear air-cooled engine, located in a little town in Nebraska.
And, here’s a story, I did not know there were existing American cars with rear engine. On the day I went out to hunt some abandoned places and found the abandoned house, took some pics of it, then walked around the house and noticed this odd car (like what you see here) that was something I haven't seen it before, walked closer to it ... I am very terrified of snakes, so elected not to walk through the tall grass, but noticed there was a funny looking front of the car with no engine. At first, I thought it was a rear trunk, stared at it for a while trying to figure it out, then gave up and took the picture of it. I did not bother to share this picture for more than a year, and decided to re-visit tonight, and realized it's not a rear trunk, and googled it. Boy, I am sure glad I discovered it by accident. Great finding!
