Default Re: 61 Corvair "95" Rampside.

I remember seeing these nifty little pickups in 1961 when I was just a lad of 11. Certainly much nicer looking than the Ford Econoline trucks of the same era. But then GM Trucks (both GMC and Chevy) were always much nicer looking than Ford trucks, and I have to say that that still holds true today. In my humble opinion, Ford trucks are just plain plug ugly. Unfortunately, nice as these little trucks were, they weren't of much use on the farm since they were limited as to what you could haul with them. They probably made a nice little city delivery truck though.
