The Corvair—like the Ford Falcon and the Plymouth Valiant—were entries of a new compact car class. Corvair rebadged prototypes from Oldsmobile and Pontiac were built prior to the Corvair's introduction, but weren't brought to production. The Corvair Monza, a five-passenger coupe with bucket seats was introduced late in the 1960 model year and found a new sporty-car niche. The Monza Spyder and later Corsa models were among the first American cars to offer a turbocharged engine. Corvair derivatives included the Greenbrier passenger van and commercial vehicles including the Corvan 95 panel van and two versions of a two-door pickup truck.
