Here is the picture I promised of the 1965 Corvair Turbo engine in my "Corsa", formerly "Spyder"  |

The 1962-1964 Corvairs were called Spyders also whether a coupe or convert. The Spyder name was dropped in very early 1965 and the Corsa name substituted for the top of the line Corvairs. There are a very few 1965 Corvairs that have a Turbocharged 180HP Spyder decal on the air filter instead of Corsa even though the body has Corsa nameplates. I will post a picture of the Turbo Corvair engine tomorrow. |

I have always been curious on why Italian convertibles are refered to as syders? German cars usually use the term Cabriolet alot. I know that cabriolet usually refers to a 2+2 convrt. But here a 2 seat convertiblet is just a convetible. Is syder a loose translation from something in Italian? You see it with Alfa's & Maserati's so it isn't specific to Ferrari? Just something I've always wondered about. |
