• 1960 Corvair

    The "Big Three" automakers, introduced new compact cars for 1960. The Corvair began production on July 7, 1959. The official launch date was set for October 2, 1959, with a basic 500 series, and a modest up-scaled 700 series model. The first Corvair model year production numbers reached 250,007 units, edging out the new Plymouth Valiant production of 194,292, but falling short of the new Ford Falcon sales numbers of nearly 430,000 units. The Corvair was the only car in America built with the air-cooled, rear mounted engine. You can read the auto magazine reviews and first road test of each of these cars, right here on AutomotiveTimelines.
