HEMMINGS: Turbocharged Compact – 1963 Corvair Spyder

SIA Flashback – Turbocharged Compact: 1963 Corvair Spyder

It seems like the Corvair was always playing a game of catch-up over its decade of existence. Chevrolet introduced it to catch up to the demand for compacts initiated by the Volkswagen, and later added a turbocharged model to catch up to the demand for high-horsepower compacts initiated by the Falcon. That, of course, glosses over the details and the character of the Corvair Spyder, which Arch Brown captured in his story for SIA #128, March 1992.
