Background

The Chevrolet Corvair was produced by the Chevrolet division of G.M. in two generations: 1960-1964 and 1965-1969. To this day, it remains the only American mass-produced rear-engined car. Over its lifespan, it appeared as a two-door coupe and convertible, and in a four-door as a sedan and station wagon, and totaled almost 1.8 million units sold along with Motortrend's Car of the Year award in 1960.

Identification

The second generation ('65-'69) was offered as a two-door convertible and hardtop, and four-door hardtop. It had four engine options: 95, 110, 140 horsepower versions, as well as a turbocharged 180 horsepower option. All these vehicles exhibited the coke-bottle shaped styling trend that Chevy would continue for the next two decades.
