Corvairs at Lime Rock

In August of 1959 Chevrolet sent two Corvairs from Detroit to Lime Rock Raceway in Northwestern Connecticut. There the Corvairs would be run through an exhaustive automotive testing program developed by racing legend John Fitch. On this page are some photos taken during that exercise that became part of a subsequent advertising campaign. Photos courtesy of Dave Newell.
