It nearly destroyed the company, and it soured Detroit on downsizing for over a decade. This is the whole messy story.

There is no American automobile more controversial than this one. It's the car that launched the career of Ralph Nader, and it led directly to the passage of the first federal safety legislation. Automotive writer Michael Lamm called it a martyr; others said it should never have been built at all. It was flawed, at least in its original iteration, but it was also one of the most daring cars GM has ever built. We're talking about the Chevrolet Corvair. Author's Note: The original version of this article was written in 2007. It has been extensively revised and expanded, adding new information and correcting numerous factual errors.
