A beautiful example of a 1962 Chevy Corvair Loadside pickup

jlw: jlw: I have no idea if the Trucks and Greenbriers had the same exploding fuel tank thing the sedan and convertible purportedly do/did?

Corvairs earned a reputation for very bad handling and oversteer due to the unconventional suspension and weight distribution from the rear engine setup, but I never saw anything about them being especially explosion-prone compared to other vehicles of the time. Maybe you’re thinking of the Ford Pinto?
