condition Just 851 Rampside vans were built in 1964. The Corvair 95
series was unveiled for the '61 model year as America's first true
small van and a direct competitor to the similarly rear-engine
Volkswagen van. The driver-forward 95 series trucks and vans were
built on the Corvair platform and used the same air-cooled rear
engine and transaxle. The same fully independent suspension used on
the Corvair automobiles also gave the 95 series trucks a definite
advantage over their domestic competition. Initially, the 95 series
lineup included a Corvan panel van, Greenbriar passenger van,
Loadside truck with a traditional rear tailgate, and a Rampside,
with both a rear tailgate and bottom-hinged door on the passenger
side that dropped down and transformed into a ramp. The side ramp
door was covered on top with a rubber shield to protect it when the
ramp was lowered. To move the driver far enough ahead of the front
wheels, the wheelbase was shortened to 95 inches � hence the 95
series moniker � which was 13 inches less than a Corvair sedan. The
unitized pickups had a box that was 43 7/8 inches wide and 105
inches long. The bed was raised slightly in back to accommodate the
engine. The Corvairs featured two carburetors and were rated at
about 95 hp and 128 lbs.-ft. of torque. A liberal use of aluminum
in the engine helped keep the Rampside's weight to 2,665 lbs. and
helped keep handling manageable. The engine was accessed from a
flip-up panel in the rear of the bed. Up front were two sets of
prominent headlights, and a concave, sculpted contrast strip ran
from nose to tail. Inside was a simple bench seat, large
truck-style steering wheel and minimalist dash. Runs & Drives Great
