edit- This 1965 book made the author famous nationwide. It claimed that the Chevrolet Corvair, an air-cooled rear-engine rear wheel drive car, was totally unsafe, even while parked! This is either an exaggeration, or a lie. Like the VW Beetle, the links on the rear wheels would not prevent a rear wheel from folding inward under extreme conditions. The publicity later caused GM to correct this problem.
I suggest that a pre-requisite to work in this article is to have read the book !! Milton 13:20, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

edit"A 1972 safety commission report conducted" ... from chapter docs is also mostly contained in the criticism chapter. these might be folded into one single place - like a chapter on alternate technical fact collection and insights by third party. --Alexander.stohr (talk) 13:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. I’ve removed the redundant material. There is also a discussion of after-market options for the Corvair that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the chapter. This Corvair trivia has already been flagged as unsourced. I think it’s irrelevant here and belongs in Chevrolet Corvair. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 05:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
