When did Corvair development really stop? Before Richard Langworth's article
on the topic in 1982, many people considered that date
to be sometime in 1965, just before the second generation Chevrolet Corvair was
released.

renderings and clays, all provided by Chuck Jordan (along with a
healthy dose of speculation), Langworth makes the case for the
continued development of the Corvair with an eye on revamping it in the
early 1970s with some substantial changes.

1965, just as the Mustang was enjoying its record-breaking sales, but well
before GM realized that the Corvair couldn't compete with it."
