#Chevrolet Corvair 95 Greenbrier
Text
Chevrolet Corvair 95 Greenbrier Sportswagon, 1961. The Corvair 95 Greenbrier was a cab-over van based on the rear-engined Corvair. The render from May 11, 1960, shows a design study for a slope roof version that never made it off the drawing board.

The Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier. Also known as the Corvair 95.
This van borrowed it’s name from the infamous Chevrolet Corvair (1959-1969). The van was originally produced between 1961 and 1965. The Corvair Greenbrier was a direct competitor to the Volkswagen Transporter. Described as a normal Corvair built for hauling passengers, as was the Transporter practically just a Beetle built for hauling passengers.
The Corvair Greenbrier had four engine options; 2.8L I6, 3.7L I6, 4.5L V8 & 5.2L V8. It was rear-engined which gave it the forward control body style. It was also available in a loadside pickup body style. The Greenbrier name was also used on the Chevrolet Chevelle Wagon from 1969-1972.
Similar vehicles include; Dodge A100, Volkswagen Transporter, Ford Econoline (1961-1967), Chevrolet Van & GMC Handi-Van/Bus.

Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier - американская классика минивэна
Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier. Многие думают, что самым первым и самым успешным минивэном стал знаменитый VW Transporter первой серии. Но на самом деле было много попыток, примерно в одно и тоже время, создать универсальный однообъёмный автомобиль.
Такие разработки велись в Европе у нас в СССР и, конечно же, в США. Вот именно с таким автомобилем, который должен был стать одним из звеньев "американской мечты", и является Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier.
Как и Т1 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier имел заднемоторную компоновку. Причём двигатель также имел воздушное охлаждение. Но этот минивэн был менее аскетичным чем VW Transporter.
Это было заметно и по внешнему виду, он был значительно больше, имел больше хрома и более замысловатую форму и деталей кузова. Да и во внутренней отделке минивэна было меньше аскетизма.
По технической части Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier имел двигатель объёмом 2.4 литра. 6-ти цилиндровый, 80-ти сильный, а позднее 2.7 литровым 95 или 100-сильный.
Особенно интересной была версия Custom Camper Unit. Она была рассчитана для путешествий и имела складную палатку, которую можно было разложить прямо на крыше.
Позже на американский рынок вышел Chrysler и "отхватил" свою часть рынка среднего класса американцев которые готовы были к покупке минивэна. А та часть для которой деньги были не главное, имею в виду "хиппи", для них идеально подошёл незамысловатый и простой фургончик от Фольксваген. Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier выпускался всего лишь с 1961 по 1964 годы, но даже за этот срок нашёл немало поклонников.

Trucks of the 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise
When you think of a car cruise, you think of hot rods, muscle cars, and a few vintage oddballs. You don’t think trucks, but then you don’t know the Dream Cruise. We spotted nearly as many trucks rolling down Woodward this year as cars, and we’ve picked out 13 of the most interesting examples.

Cruising with Fiat-Chrysler/SRT’s Mark Trostle
Cruising With Ford/SVT’s Hermann Salenbauch
Cruising With Mr. Camaro, Al Oppenheiser
1950s Chevrolet 3100
We spotted this Advance Design series Chevrolet 3100 pickup several times during Dream Cruise week and every time we couldn’t help but stop and swoon at its gorgeous two-tone paint. Launched in 1947, these trucks went head-to-head with Ford’s new F-1 pickup competing for the attention of laborers caught-up in the post-war building boom, a rivalry alive and doing very well today.
1950s Ford F-1
The Ford F-1 pickups were out in force this year, and this especially clean example features only light (visible) modification. The F-1 launched the F-Series pickup line, which has since spent decades as both the best-selling truck and best-selling vehicle period in the U.S. Its latest progeny is our Truck of the Year, the 2018 Ford F-150.
1950s Chevrolet Delivery Truck
This subtle custom truck started life an Advance Design-era Chevrolet pickup, but this long-wheelbase model has been fitted with an uncommon enclosed cargo box. The diamond plate running boards and LED marker lights definitely didn’t come from the factory, and the axles look suspiciously later-model as well, but we appreciate how much effort has been put into making it look period-correct.
1963 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside
Copy/pasting the Volkswagen Beetle/Bus game plan, GM expanded its better-known Corvair coupe/sedan into a range of vehicles by adding the Greenbrier passenger van in ’61 and the 95 Loadside/Rampside pickup and Corvan panel van in ’63. The Loadside was your standard-issue pickup with a tailgate (with the exception of a two-tier bed necessitated by the rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six), whereas the Rampside had a section of the bed side hinged at the bottom to drop down as an access ramp to lower forward section of the bed. This Roadkill-approved example has had its anemic flat-six replaced with a small-block Chevy V-8 in the bed ahead of the axle, which also required the ramp be replaced with a radiator.
1970s Cushman Truckster
More than a few car companies got their start building scooters and three-wheeled mini-trucks, but Cushman was happy to stay in its niche. Introduced in 1958, the Truckster was America’s take on the popular Piaggio Ape (pronounced ah-pay, it means “bee” in Italian). Trucksters were produced for light commercial work all the way up to 2002, but this painstakingly restored example is a 1970s model.
Ford Ranchero
We can’t talk about vintage trucks without giving a nod to the “trucklet,” as this second-generation Ford Ranchero’s license plate puts it. Dreamed-up in Australia, the Ranchero was a hit back home in the U.S., too, and spurred GM to respond with the Chevrolet El Camino and GMC Caballero. Chrysler even got in on the action too late in the game with the less-successful Dodge Rampage. This two-tone, Ford Falcon-based ’64 Ranchero is a clean example, regardless of how you feel about the underbody neon lights.
GMC Frankentruck
There were jacked-up trucks galore cruising Woodward, but this one gets the shout-out for its uniqueness. The front fender used to say GMC, and the grille says this C1500 was an early ‘70s model, but with so many mix-and-match body panels, it’s tough to know what year this truck is without checking the VIN, and even then, it may be only partially correct. We particularly like the diesel swap with the hater pipe, the old-school skinny off-road tires, and the intercom headsets the driver and passenger must wear to hear each other.
1940s GMC truck with 10-bolt wheels
Here’s a truck we wish we’d gotten a closer look at. The bodywork suggests it’s a 1940s-era C or E Series GMC truck, but there’s clearly something much newer underneath. The dual rear wheels and ten-bolt big rig wheels all around suggest something seriously heavy duty underpinning this truck, and the massive, sooty tailpipe screams high-power diesel motor. We’re hoping it’s a proper medium-duty commercial truck under there.
1955 Chevrolet Truck with Entertainment Center
The “Task Force Series” Chevrolet pickups are both wildly popular and widely available, which likely contributed to this guy finding a patina’d example he could turn into the life of the tailgate. At first, we thought it was a dump truck conversion, but as it rolled by, we suddenly knew who was blasting Aretha Franklin’s greatest hits in tribute. It may not be able to bring anything else, but this truck will always bring the party.
1940s Dodge Truck with Portable Living Room
The best view of the Woodward Dream Cruise is from the road, where you can get up close and personal with the cars on the move. If you’re not driving, a tall, comfortable perch in the middle of the action is unbeatable. Being able to enjoy the Dream Cruise without leaving your living room is also a win. Combine the two and you’re really cooking with fire. This 1940s Dodge truck is either a V- or W-series, and its flatbed has been outfitted with all the comforts of home. What the driver saved on a paint job he’ll likely spend on fines when the police see this.
GMC Sierra convertible
GM declined to follow Dodge’s lead on convertible pickup trucks, likely after reviewing the dismal numbers. That didn’t stop this guy from engineering his own conversion on a mid-90s GMC Sierra. Let’s face it, the rear seats in that extended cab weren’t good for much anyway and took up just the right amount of space for a folded soft top. If you need to haul but still want the wind in your hair, this is the way to do it.
Max Max Truck
The spectacular rat rods of the latest Mad Max movie, Fury Road, have inspired people with access to welders and rusty sheetmetal everywhere. There was no Ford F-1 tow truck in the movie, but if I told you this one was a real movie prop, you’d have believed it. It reportedly shoots flames 20 feet in the air from a pile of propane cylinders in the back, but the driver didn’t indulge us.
1989 Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible
Everyone loves Wranglers, and those are convertibles. And that Scrambler pickup lasted six years. A Dodge Dakota Convertible would definitely work, then. So the thinking must’ve gone at Chrysler in 1989, two years after its acquisition of Jeep’s previous owner, AMC. As it happens, people did not, in fact, want a single-cab convertible Dakota, and sales were slow . This particular example sports a 3.9-liter V-6 and we didn’t look close enough to see if it had the optional four-wheel-drive powertrain.

1961 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier - $3,495.00
1961 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier 95 Current owner bought it from Bill. It was perfect for the cross-country trip current owner was planning; a tour of the States. During the current restoration attempt, decided to paint her battleship grey again. The van has lived beyond all expectations. Have added removable T-tops over the cab and in the rear, over the folding bed/bench seat. The extension of the top behind the cab allows a 6' tall person to stand up without bending their head. You can see out of the top windows easily, but they appear dark from the outside. Also added the sliding, screened windows in the rear, due to the absence of air conditioning. Replaced the front bench seat with Volvo fully-reclining buckets with lumbar knobs and adjustable headrests. It's amazing what a little bed frame and some coat-hanger welding rods can do. She sports an air-cooled, 164 cu. in., 110 hp flat six from a '66 Monza coupe, through a two-speed Powerglide automatic. The shift knob is on the dash. The blue on the lightning bolt flag was used on the brake drums, with matching hand grenade tire valve caps. THE VAN HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THE MOTOR WILL NEED THE CARBS, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR. THERE ARE EXTRA PARTS THAT WOULD COME WITH IT LIKE WEATHERSTRIPPING. NEW FUEL AND BRAKE LINES. THE 1ST PICTURE OF IT IS BACK IN ITS HEYDAY. OTHER PICTURES ARE OF ITS CURRENT STAGE. IT WILL BE SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY. IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY RUN AND DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE MISSING COMPONENTS. BUT IT WILL. THERE IS RUST AROUND THE REAR DRIVER BACK QUARTER PANEL WHERE THE BATTERY SITS. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our clients home and Not In Cadillac, Michigan. **We do have a showroom with about 25 cars that is by appointment only **Please Call First and talk to one of our reps at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 ** FREE Consignment Visit Our Site Today Easy To List Your Vehicle and Get it Sold in Record Time.
