Bought a used '63-'65, something like that. Nader was right; front end floated like a boat.
Rolled it into a ditch in front of a Michigan farmhouse on Thanksgiving day. Road was icy slick, and extremely crowned. I crawled along the center line as best I could to keep from sliding to the shoulder and ditch. No could do. It slid in slow motion and rolled onto the roof. I leisurely climbed out of the window, went to the farmhouse, called my girlfriend to come get me.
I got called back two hours later to see the cop who had the daily duty. Too fast for conditions, he said. I was barely moving.
End of Corvair, thank God.
