Ford went to reclaim it, the

instrument’s value — offered
him $75 for it.

The hardest part about parking a Corvair is finding a nickel
That may be a slight overstatement, but such jaunti
ness comes easily when you're a Corvair owner.
And you can usually back it up—as easily as you
can back up a Corvair. You’ll find your
self doing that occasionally, if only to
adjust the brakes—they’re self-adjusting.
That’s all there is to it, and that’s a good
example of how delightfully easy Corvair
is to own, drive and maintain.
But since we began by talking about
driving, let’s stick with that awhile. A
large factor in the fun of driving a
Corvair is the location of its engine in
the rear. Why the rear? It gives Corvair extra traction
on any road surface. It provides a nearly fiat floor for
more useable interior space. Best of alt it, produces
steering so light, so responsive, you
wonder why no other American-made
car thought of it.
Corvair’s engine is also air cooled, we
might add, which means there's no anti
freeze or water for you to add. Ever.
All that pleasure from something so
practical almost makes you think Corvair
__ is unique among American cars. Which
