Chevrolet's 1962 Corvair Rampside Series 95 pickup was part of a line of trucks aimed squarely at the competition from Volkswagen. Its unique side-loading capability was complemented by good performance and agile handling and, in the upscale Deluxe version offered here, chrome bumpers, mirrors, grille and hubcaps, and a color-keyed interior to match its two-tone red-on-white paint scheme. Like its passenger-car counterparts, this restored 1961 Rampside features a rear-mounted 145 CI air-cooled flat-six engine, here mated to a four-speed manual transmission. An AM radio is included.
