When I was in the TV repair business, back when TV's could be repaired, I actually owned a Corvan.

Not a bad vehicle. I also worked in a body shop later in life and we repaired a Corvair that knocked down a cinder block wall.

All of the damage was superficial. It was a sturdy car, torpedoed by Ralph "unsafe at any speed" Nader.

I ain't saying that Nader was wrong on everything but I think he was wrong about the Corvair which I believe to be GM's first attempt to fight back at the imported auto market.

So what did he accomplish except to sell more VW's which were probably less safe than the Corvair?
