Chevrolet for two vehicles. The first vehicles were a six to nine
passenger window van version of the Corvair 95 van. The Corvair 95
series also included the Loadside pickup truck and Rampside pickup
truck that featured a mid-body ramp on the right side. All used the
Corvair powertrain in a truck body and were produced in the model
years 1961 to 1965. The Greenbrier name was used a second time from
1969 until 1972; for the mid-level Chevelle station wagon.
Chevrolet introduced the Corvair lineup for the 1960 model year as
the first of a series of generations of passenger compact cars.
Chevrolet introduced a more utilitarian style of vehicle the
following year under the model designation "Corvair 95". The
air-cooled horizontally opposed Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine was
located in the rear of the vehicle under a slightly raised cargo
floor. The 145 cu in engine developed 80 hp at 4,400 rpm. Engine
size was increased to 164 cu in. for the 1964 model year, raising
output to 95 hp. Unlike the Corvair cars, the Corvair Greenbrier
had a 95 in wheelbase and were thus known as "95s." They came
standard with a three-speed manual transmission but could be
ordered with a two-speed Corvair Powerglide automatic transmission
(distinct from the usual Powerglide); eventually a four-speed
manual was also made available. There were essentially two
different bodies available in the 95 series: the van and the truck.
The base version was the panel van (Corvan) with no side or rear
windows. The van was named Greenbrier. The Greenbrier normally had
windows all around and six doors, although an option was to have
eight doors where there were opening double doors on both sides.
The Greenbrier seated up to nine people with the available
third-row seat. The 95s and cars had an optional heater using
gasoline from the vehicle's tank. The Greenbrier also had a camper
option. Although the Greenbriers were a limited success, passenger
vans would continue to evolve through full-sized vans. The
similarly sized 7-8 passenger would become a successful vehicle
segment by the 1980s as alternatives to station wagons. ***If you
