What type of car was a target in Nader's book?

  • Chevy Corvair

  • Ford Mustang

  • Dodge Charger

  • Volkswagen Beetle

Answer

The automobile in question in Ralph Nader's book "Unsafe at Any Speed" is the Chevrolet Corvair, specifically the second generation model produced between 1960 and 1964. Nader's critique focused on the car's allegedly dangerous design, particularly the placement of the rear-mounted air-cooled engine, which he argued compromised the vehicle's stability and handling, potentially leading to accidents and injuries.
