I remember the Corvair well as we had one. It was either a 63 or 64 – CRS!. The car had a air-cooled rear mounted engine and fumes leaked into the passenger compartment.
The car was the Corvair, its rear engine made the car oversteer, swing-axel design used made it prone to flipping, according to Ralph Nader.
