This is kind of a movie, I saw a Green Greenbrier in a music video from back when Eminem was in D12.

Song is "My Band", D12. Appears at 2:22

An EM convertible was regularly seen 1988-93 in the TV series "The Wonder Years". https://www.imcdb.org/v065207.html

Two EM's shown in the pic below.

I'm sure Brad has already seen this Monza Spyder roaring through the Fatherland. Driver Christoph is clearly an enthusiastic fanboy!

I made a correction on the video URL. To embed a YouTube video in a Corvair Forum post, you cannot use the address URL at the top of the screen. Instead, you must view the video on the YouTube website, and then click on the SHARE button below the video. Then copy the correctly formatted URL — copied from the SHARE dialog box — and paste it between the share_youtube markers in your post.

YouTube URL address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNZwHqvqyjU

YouTube SHARE address formatted for video embedding in your post: https://youtu.be/hNZwHqvqyjU

Not the little red Corvair's finest moment at 6:40, under a pile of junkers: https://youtu.be/VBfrJHs56cA?t=400

Nice late model vert on a 1969 episode of Adam-12. See marker lights, so I believe a '68 or '69 model.

We've been watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Episode 7, lots of a nice 1965 Monza coupe.

There’s an early model 4 door briefly in Wayne’s World, right after they go into the doughnut shop the first time.

The Corvair-powered ULTRAVAN is also in the movies. I didn't realize it until I watched the 1991 American coming-of-age comedy-drama movie My Girl today, starring Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, and Anna Chlumsky.

The Ultra Van is a unique motorhome. Powered by a Corvair engine and transaxle, it was designed by David Peterson (a professional aircraft designer) in the early sixties. These units were produced in limited quantities by Ultra, Inc. of Hutchinson, Kansas until June of 1970.

As a true monococque structure, the Ultra Van has no chassis. It is constructed like an airplane with aluminum ribs covered with riveted sheet aluminum on the top and sides. Compound curved areas (front and back corners) are fiberglass. All wheels are independently sprung with coil springs and tubular shock absorbers.

These units cruise easily at 60 mph and deliver 15 plus mpg. More than 100 of about 376 units produced are still on the road, many with between 100,000 and 500,000 miles of use.

The Corvair Society of America (CORSA) recognizes the Ultra Van as a true Corvair marque.
