General Motors didn't want to lose to other companies' lines such as Volkswagen's Beetle and Austin's Mini. With some work in the boardroom and assembly line, Chevy presented its Corvair in 1960. The Corvair was the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car to have a rear-mounted engine. In 1960, Motor Trend named awarded the Corvair with Car of the Year.One such Corvair that emerged was the Monza Spyder, the flagship of all Corvairs! The 1961 Monza was heavily promoted and referred to as "the poor man's Porsche" in various car magazines. The Monza series expanded with a four-door sedan body style in addition to the two-door coupe, and sold about 144,000 cars. Sales jumped to about 152,000 the next year. Engineering changes were made in 1964, the last of the first generation of Corvairs. Engine displacement increased to 2.7 L, and the Spyder kept its 150 HP turbocharged motor.1964 saw an improvement in the car's swing axle rear suspension with the addition of a transverse leaf spring along with softer rear coil springs designed to diminish rear roll stiffness and create more neutral handling attributes.
