I had a '66 Monza. With a bumper sticker that read "Ralph Who?"

I had a '64 Monza Spyder convertible with turbo back in '69. It was quicker than greased lighting and was completely stock except for anti-sway bars and a fully functional roll bar...I used to clean Porches' clocks on a regular basis. "Unsafe at any Speed"?

Eat shit and die Ralph Nader!

I had a '65 and a '66 Monza. Loved 'em. I took the engine block to my firebird to the machine shop in the trunk of my '65. The guys couldn't beleive it!

The Corvair Lakewood station wagen was the car in which Ernie Kovacs died when he skidded into a CA utilty pole in January of 1962.

About the Lakewood Wagon, I would worry that maybe carbon monoxide fumes would come from the cargo space.. Plus, It was probably very noisy..

It still remains a fascinating and spectacluar car though.

Who had the first rear-engined station wagon? Corvair. The Squareback followed. Who had the first air-cooled rear-engined six cylinder? Corvair. Porsche followed. Want to see a preview of the 911? Look to the '63 Bertone-bodied Corvairs.

VW copied Corvair? Are you kidding me?

[imthedorf1964]

Well l didn't know that so thanx for telling me. Why didn't u tell me that in the first place instead of sounding like a condescending jerk?

Take a look at the opened engine compartment cover. Several inches of insulation. While the engine is running, the fan is constantly pulling ambient air into the side vents, and through the engine compartment. The rear cargo area was no hotter than any conventional wagon. VW actually copied the design for their Squareback wagon that sold for a decade. I never heard of anybody getting scorched back there.
