My grandparents had one in the 60's. They lived in the Oak Park neighborhood of Chicago, and in the big record setting snowstorm of '67, '68? (I was not alive yet then) that Corvair was the only thing moving. The streets weren't being plowed fast enough the Metra and L-lines were shutting down, other cars were bogging down, but that Corvair made a number of trips to pick up relatives stranded at train stops....Until it finally got stuck in a snow drift in an alley a block from their home....
