1966 Chevrolet Corvair

Like many Corvair people, the owner of this car has a whole yard full of Corvairs in various states of decay. Devotees of Chevy's air-cooled oddity are a cult-like group reluctant to allow any examples of their favorite car to go to the crusher, no matter how deteriorated they are. The owner of this coupe also had in his yard a rare Greenbrier pickup with ramp-gate on the side. This truck has the Corvair engine under the truck bed. It looks operational.

1963 Chevrolet Greenbrier Van

Volkswagen's first two vehicles were the Type 1 (Beetle) and the Type 2 (van). By 1960 Chevrolet also had a rear-drive car with an air-cooled rear engine in the form of the Corvair, so they decided that since those VW beatnik vans were so popular, they needed one just like it.

The Greenbrier got pretty good reviews from the car magazines, and copies in good condition command high prices today.
