1965 60s sixties black Chevrolet Chevy Corvair 2700cc petrol en-route to Capesthorne Hall classic July car show, Cheshire, UK
The Chevrolet Corvair is a compact car manufactured by Chevrolet for model years 1960–1969 in two generations. It remains the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Corvair was manufactured and marketed in 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, convertible, 4-door station wagon, passenger van, commercial van, and pickup truck body styles in its first generation (1960–1964) and as a 2-door coupe, convertible or 4-door hardtop in its second (1965–1969) — with a total production of approximately million from 1960-1969. The name "Corvair" originated as a portmanteau of Corvette and Bel Air,[1] a name first applied in 1954 to a Corvette-based concept with a hardtop fastback-styled roof, part of the Motorama traveling exhibition.[2] When applied to the production models, the "air" part referenced the engine's cooling system.
