If that's the question, Ken, then the answer is "yes."

Flat towing a manual-transmission Corvair poses no issues other than 
ensuring that the transmission stays in neutral.

Flat towing a Powerglide-equipped Corvair poses no issues other than 
stopping every 100 miles or two hours to start the car and engage the 
transmission, to more fully circulate the trans fluid.

I would not recommend dolly-towing a Corvair.  Dollies were designed to 
accommodate front-wheel-drive vehicles.

Note:  I once flat-towed a Powerglide Corvair without noticing that the 
transmission was in REVERSE!  The result was exciting and included fire.
