Comment on Chevrolet Presents: The Corvair In Action by Todd Bianco

I knew the Porsche 356 had essentially the same setup as the Beetle, but didn’t realize that the Mercedes SL of that era had it. Of course, the SL had a front engine, which probably gave it different handling characteristics.

I had forgotten about the Rampside (Loadside?) trucks. They were very handy. Some day, one of the pick up truck manufacturers should make an entire side of the bed either fold down or disappear for ease of loading. You’re absolutely right about that.

I remember that the phone company loved the Rampside pick-up version of this car for its ease of loading. It’s an idea that should come back.

This guy is a hater!! Maybe he’s hating because he can’t afford one of these packages .. I find this package for the Impala very attractive …. If you don’t like Vogues or chrome , gold plating and extra add ons .. Maybe you can go to a dealership and ask them to build you a basic model with no options …..
