1960-65 Corvairs equipped with factory installed windshield washers were also supplied with a bottle of concentrated washer fluid. The history of the bottles has been previously documented by Kent Sullivan and Dave Newell in this article published in the CORSA Comminique. This post will deal with the metal brackets that… - 56The earliest Corvairs (1960-62) had non-safety door latches.

Corvair Factory Air Conditioning was a relatively rare option, available beginning in 1961. Beginning in 1962, Corvairs equipped with C.A.C. (Car Air Conditioning) were equipped with an idle control assembly designed to increase the idle speed when the compressor was running, to prevent engine stalling. Between 1962 and 1967 at… - 47Hi all. After posting this on the Stock Corvair FB page, Kent encouraged me to start a blog here. I'll start with pasting the text from the FB page: Just thought I'd share some pics of a couple of spares on original rims. One is an original US Royal 6.50-13…

GM Proving grounds photos are attached, showing the shifters for both years. These aren't prototype cars. They're ordinary…

- 45Late 1963-1965 Corvair A6 compressors used a foil sticker to display model number, charge, and serial number. While these stickers have been accurately reproduced for non-Corvair A6 models, they aren’t correct for Corvair, due to the difference in Model number and charge. Here is a photo of the reproduced sticker:…
- 44I did some research into early Corvair shock absorbers and made a table to summarize my findings. The part and stamping numbers come from my March 1, 1964 parts book. The Piston travel numbers for all except 1964 rear shock come from GM’s Vehicle Information Kits - we have a page on…

In researching this subject, I have discovered some variations in the appearance of the early model antennas, so this post is being made to ask for your help in researching the issue. Pictured here are three possible choices for what a 1964 Corvair Rear Antenna may have looked like.
