<VV> GM had every reason to discontinue the Corvair

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 THe cable shifter couldn't pull it out of 'Park'. They would've needed a robust linkage for that. 

Remember, in 1960, Powerglides were pretty much the only auto Chevy used.

Running the "Park" mechanism to the rear mounted PG was probably a big 

reason why the PG Corvair didn't have this feature.



My question is why they went with a 2-speed ? ("2 slow" and "2 high")

The PGs in the rest of the Chevy line had a Park position -- why didn't

the Corvair??

Most all Auto's I've torn down, have the Park   mechanism in the tailshaft.
