Corvair Shorts
Description: The name Chevrolet Greenbrier was used by Chevrolet for two vehicles. The first vehicles were a six to nine passenger window van version of the Corvair 95 van. The Corvair 95 series also included the Loadside pickup truck and Rampside pickup truck that featured a mid-body ramp on the right side. All used the Corvair powertrain in a truck body and were produced in the model years 1961 to 1965. The Greenbrier name was used a second time from 1969 until 1972; for the mid-level Chevelle station wagon.
Description: The Corvair is a compact car manufactured by Chevy for model years 1960 through 1969 in two generations. It remains the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Corvair was manufactured and marketed in 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, convertible, 4-door station wagon, passenger van, commercial van, and pickup truck body styles in its first generation (1960–1964) and as a 2-door coupe, convertible or 4-door hardtop in its second (1965–1969) — with a total production of approximately 1.8 million from 1960-1969. The name "Corvair" originated as a portmanteau of Corvette and Bel Air, a name first applied in 1954 to a Corvette-based concept with a hardtop fastback-styled roof.
Description: The Chevrolet Corvair is a unique American car that was produced from 1960 to 1969. It was a compact car that was designed to be affordable and economical, but with a sporty look and feel. The Corvair had a unique air-cooled engine and a rear-mounted transaxle, which gave it a distinctive driving experience. Despite some controversy around its safety and handling, the Corvair remains a classic car that is beloved by many car enthusiasts. Very Little Muscle Cars. For those who are second to none with nothing to prove.
Description: Produced from 1960 to 1969, the Corvair was one of the most unconventional cars ever offered by an American automaker. Designed with a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six engine and a unibody structure, it broke sharply from Detroit norms and offered a low, sporty profile with surprisingly balanced handling for its time. Early models gained attention—and controversy—after Ralph Nader’s 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed criticized the car’s handling, though later studies found it comparable to its peers. Available in a wide range of body styles, including sedans, coupes, convertibles, and even vans and pickups, the Corvair developed a loyal following and remains a standout example of bold engineering and design in American automotive history.

Description: While surfing is generally thought of as a summer activity, the biggest, and best waves stateside are actually primarily found in the winter. When the idea for an Independence Day surf competition came about, New Smyrna Beach, Florida was the obvious choice as New Smyrna had killer waves year round, making it a perfect spot for the American Surf Competition. Tucked between Daytona Beach and Cocoa Beach, New Smyrna Beach is a classic surfer town, with narrow streets, wide beaches and a laid-back attitude. It also has one of the most consistent surf breaks on the East Coast, courtesy of some significant rock ledges off the coast.
