MODEL C3603 CHASSIS·CAB WITH SPECIAL VAN BODY

For 1961, Chevrolet has taken another giant step ahead of the industry, with three precedent-shattering Corvair 95 models! They're totally new from road to roof, in concept, configuration and components, and they're built to handle more payload for their size and weight than any other trucks on the road! Body and frame are "unitized," combined in a single assembly, featuring high strength, low weight, and lots of load space. The years-ahead Corvair 95 power team also reflects the unit design principle, combining engine, transmission and rear axle gearing in one package, tucked between the rear wheels. Further, Corvair 95 proportions cradle the bulk of the cargo amidships,

retaining near-perfect weight dis­tribution whether empty or fully loaded. And coil springs cushion the ride at all four wheels, with fully independent suspension, front and rear, for handling no conven­tional chassis can match.

RI244 LOADSIDE PICKUP features an amazing 1,900·lb. payload capacity, with deep·well load floor boosting cubage to 80 cubic feet. Versatile three·section level load floor is optional at extra cost.
