The poor man’s Corvette, a woman’s Corvette, they get called all sorts of things.  I’ve always been interested in them.  Thanks for sharing!

MY FIL was a Mechanic at a local Chevrolet Dealership for many years prior to me meeting him. HE was the Corvair guy. He had already opened is own one man Shop when I started dating my future wife.... The customers followed too, seems there was always one of those waterless-wonders up on stands with the engine out...

My Wife's first car was a Corvair - a white 64 hardtop - but then she bought her own 65 Mustang... that was more upscale. Except in the winter. The Corvair had little issue going thru 6" of snow; the Mustang got parked if there were more than a dusting.

Are those the ones that would asphyxiate you at stop lights?

 I had a 1963 four door in the mid 1970's. They had push rod tubes in the heater box with O ring seals at the ends. When the seals deteriorated oil leaked into the heater box and the fumes came out the heater vents. Being air cooled, they relied on hot air from the exhaust manifolds for heat. Push rod tubes were inside the heater box. 

The Chevrolet Corvair heating system relies on a direct-air setup rather than a traditional liquid-cooled system. It captures heat generated around the exhaust manifolds, routes it through a blower, and distributes it to the cabin. Because of its unique design, any oil leaks from the engine or pushrod tubes can introduce exhaust odors directly into the car.
