Spotlight: Chevrolet Corvair Drag Car "Termi-Nader" at the Greaserama Car Show
Location: Greaserama Car Show at the Platte County Fairgrounds, Tracy, Missouri
The Greaserama Car Show is a unique and vibrant celebration of vintage cars, culture, and creativity, held annually at the Platte County Fairgrounds in Tracy, Missouri. Known for its emphasis on traditional hot rods, kustoms, and lowbrow art, Greaserama is a haven for enthusiasts who appreciate the grit and charm of old-school automotive design. The event is more than just a car show; it's a gathering of like-minded individuals who embrace the spirit of DIY culture, vintage fashion, and rockabilly music, making it a must-visit for fans of classic Americana.
Information on the Chevrolet Corvair
The Chevrolet Corvair, produced from 1960 to 1969, was a revolutionary car for its time. It was the only American-designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted, air-cooled engine. The Corvair stood out for its innovative engineering and design, which included a flat-six engine and a unibody structure. However, it also gained notoriety due to safety concerns raised in Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed, which criticized the car's handling. Despite the controversy, the Corvair has become an icon among car enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate its unique characteristics.
The "Termi-Nader" is a custom drag car version of the Corvair, named humorously after Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate who critiqued the vehicle. The transformation from a compact family car to a powerful drag racer showcases the ingenuity and creativity of its builders, embracing the car's history while pushing its performance boundaries.
