Ddey65 ◊ 2007-02-03 05:17	modell wrote Chevrolet Corvair?? Yeah, but what's on the front? Did GM's UK division rebadge them under another name? FYI, this is the second generation Corvair(1965-1969).

Otherwise, and this is less likely in my opinion, the badge could be a "GM Suisse" badge as GM did build the model on the continent from CKD kits. That being said, I believe that the placement of those badges was offset, and not centered as here.
