At least GM had the good sense to add a camber compensator to the 64 Corvair. This was available as an aftermarket accessory, and someting Triumph and VW never did. In 1965 GM completely redesigned the Corvair rear end, making it one of the best around. I had a 66 which I loved. And as for Ralph Nadar, he is what Mark Twain would call a "stupid human donkey." He mistreated his employees, and is personally responsible for the selection of G.W Bush as our President. Ken F.
