Chevrolet, USA.   The Corvair was a car of the sixties and was unusual in that it was quite compact for the time and had a rear mounted engine.   It was available as a hardtop with both 2 or 4 doors and also as a convertible as seen here.  The car was attacked by the consumer activist, Ralph Nader, on safety grounds but the car was probably no more unsafe than any other of the time. The car above is a first generation car that was sold from 1960 to 1964.  The engine variants were all aluminium and under 3 litre.  In my view this was one of the best looking American cars of the sixties.  Some chose to race these cars in the US and they achieved some minor wins.  In the UK, Ian Richardson used one with a Chevy V8 engine in Super Saloons with some success.
