Chevrolet Corvair

The Chevrolet Corvair, named so for being in between the Corvette and Bel Air, was produced for the entire decade of the 1960s. In the middle of that decade, Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed book became a hit. The Corvair wasn’t spared Nader’s crosshairs, and it was called a “one-car accident” for design flaws that made it a dangerous car to drive. This caused sales to plummet in 1966, and GM decided to concentrate on the Camaro. The company even went after Nader to get back at him, but the damage was done.
