We wanted to show you what the fabulous traction
of Corrair’s rear-engine design and the sure-
footedness of four-wheel independent suspension
really mean. So the identical Economy Run car
went right on to 14,110-foot Pikes Peak—and right
up to the top of that savage mountain, on April 15,
still deep in winter’s snow and ice. No other car—
even specially equipped—had ever been able to
conquer that nightmare alpine road so early in
the spring. But Corvair (with United States Auto
Club officials aboard to certify that not one nut
or bolt was changed) purred right to the summit
without chains or even snow tires! That just
underscores the fact that Corvair is totally unique.
But you’ll find that out the first five minutes
you’re at the wheel!
The same Corvair that tallied a thumping 27.03
miles per gallon* in the Mobilgas Economy
Run ... went right on to climb Pikes Peak
earlier in the spring than any car
has ever tried!
