GM Expert: It wasn’t Ralph Nader who Killed the Corvair

Happy Friday everyone and apologies for the delay in today’s post. We think you’ll be happy with today’s delayed offering.

SFBA co-founders Dave Newell and Tony Richards have put together this excellent video on Tony’s YouTube Channel which we hope you subscribe to if you haven’t yet.

Corvair devotee and General Motors historian Dave Newell explains how, contrary to popular opinion, Ralph Nader did NOT put an end to the Corvair automobile. He tells how a combination of mechanical issues, ill-advised actions of GM personnel, and public perception had a hand in the decision to stop production of the beloved car.

If it’s coming from Dave and Tony, you can be assured you are receiving definitive well researched facts. Enjoy the video and let us know if you have any Corvair topics you would like explored in future videos.
