Daring The Darien

GM promotional video from 1961 of three Corvair's and two support trucks driving through the Darien Gap.

Those cars look very rough by the end of the video. After being towed across the river by a tractor the car was full of water - was a wet drive after that. They had no mercy on the cars

At least one of the Corvairs is still there.

Loved the white sidewall tires, should be optional for stickies.
