Ralph Nader's 1965 report that was made public drew widespread attention to this flaw. Unsafe at Any Speed. Interesting the gas tank design flaw analysis on corrective action was determined to be only $1. Not $11. Really was not a bad car, but obviously extremely dangerous with burn risk from potential fuel tanks being rear ended. The Corvair was deemed likewise as an unsafe vehicle.
