I had 1964 Corvair, after Ralph Nader wrote “Unsafe at any speed”. What utter BS that book was. I never had a single problem with my corvair. It had rear engine, with more weight on rear wheels, and never ever needed snow tires in Chicago winter driving. Does anyone remember 1967 snow storm in Chicago? My Corvair did not get stuck and brought me home. The whole city was at standstill for 2 to 3 days.

And then I owned a Pinto for many years, again a flawless car, great on gas mileage and no mechanical breakdowns. Only reason I traded it in was after 8 years in Chicago’s salt filled winters, the body was showing rust.
