I apologize for this photo. I kept getting glare off the windows and i couldn’t get a clear shot from the other side. I could have, and maybe should have, just taken the front of the car, but the inset back window was the feature I found so fascinating.

In spring of 1962, Chevrolet committed itself to the sporty image they had created for the Corvair by introducing a convertible version, then offering a high-performance 150 hp (112 kW) turbocharged "Spyder" option for Monza coupes and convertibles, making the Corvair the second production automobile supplied with a turbocharger as a factory option, with the Oldsmobile F-85 Turbo Jetfire having been released earlier in 1962

The Chevrolet Corvair is a rear-engined, air-cooled compact car manufactured over two generations from the 1960 through 1969 model years. Total production was approximately 1.8 million vehicles from 1960 until 1969.
The air-cooled horizontally opposed Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine was located in the rear of the vehicle under a slightly raised cargo floor. It was similar in principle to the 4-cylinder engine of the Volkswagen, but unusual for most contemporary cars. The 145 cu in (2,375 cc) engine developed 80 hp (60 kW) at 4,400 rpm. Engine size was increased to 164 cu in (2,683 cc) for the 1964 model year, raising output to 95 hp
The Chevrolet Corvair 95 is a subseries of the Chevrolet Corvair line produced from 1961 until 1965. Two different bodies were available, the van (Greenbrier) & truck, either a "Loadside" or "Rampside."
My first find of 2018. I found this Chevrolet Corvair that has seen much better days sitting at a Citgo station in Ridgefield, Connecticut today. According to the back license plate, this thing hasn't been on the road since 1987.
