RE: [T3] corvair engine?


My '69 Squareback had a Corvair motor in it while it was in possession
of
the PO. I never saw it run, but it was sure cool looking. I think he
used
a Kennedy adapter plate. My brother originally bought the car from the
guy.
He sold it to him minus engine/trans. I then bought it from my brother.

While we're on the subject of Corvairs, I am wondering what the story is

about the Type 3 Ghia and the Corvair. They seem fairly similar in
style/design. Who copied who? I know the first production year for the
T3
Ghia is 1961, but I've seen a 1960 prototype in Wolfsburg. When did the
Corvair first hit the streets?

Also, based on similarity, why didn't Ralph Nader criticize the Type 3
Ghia?
Didn't it have the same swing axel design? What was different?

Just wondering.
