I understand that it gets a little car heavy around these parts but I make no apologies for that.
This one is a beautiful early, optimistic piece of Pininfarina design. This gorgeous rear engined Corvair Coupe Speciale was a sleek one off from the Italian House. The road going version, was still a lovely looking car but with the accountants in charge, there were cut-corners and cut-pricing which resulted in Ralph Nader's strong consumer warning piece Unsafe at Any Speed. This led to major reforms in safety and regulations, changing design and engineering forever. A significant car any way you look at it and went on to sell one and a half million variants of the Corvair name.
