The Chevrolet Corvair is a compact car manufactured by Chevrolet for model years 1960–1969 in two generations. It is still the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Corvair's reputation and legacy, as well as those of General Motors, were badly tarnished by a controversy surrounding its handling ability particulary by safety zelot Ralph Nader. Concerns were largely addressed with the arrival of the second of the second generation and its replacement of the first generations swing axle suspension with a new new fully independent suspension featuring coil springs at each wheel.

 

The second generation saw a major redesign and all new new Fisher Z body, hardtop styling for all models revised front and redesigned fully independent rear suspension, improved heater and air conditioning systems, numerous small engine and chassis refinements.
