The alternator must be required to power the big stereo speakers in the back area.  Very interesting little car.

Neat car, I don't think I have ever seen a wagon in person.

Nice car. I wonder if these were the same wheel base as the sedans?

All Corvairs were 108" wheelbase including these four door station wagons.  The reason so few have encountered one of these is they were two-year-only models, 1961-'62.  For 1961, 26,042 were sold but for 1962, only 6,078 were sold: the reason?  Across the showroom floor was the all-new, conventional 1962 Chevy II four door station wagon of which 59,886 were sold.  Between the Corvair Greenbriar van and the Chevy II station wagon, the Corvair Lakewoods were superfluous, quietly dropped from the model selection.

Sub-woofers increase top speed by 20mph. Could have used those in mine.
