One of the most legally damaging automobiles ever produced was the Chevy Corvair. In his 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed, consumer advocate Ralph Nader detailed the numerous lawsuits the small automobile encountered during its first five years of manufacture. The offender has a rear-mounted engine and suspension problems. Although General Motors would contest Nadar’s book, arguing that their model was safer than those from rival companies, the harm to their brand and the history of the car had already been done.
