The Corvair van was sold as the Greenbrier. This was the passenger van.
There was a cargo/utility version called the Corvan, as well as two pickup
models, the Loadside and the Rampside. The Rampside had a ramp that lowered
from the passenger side to access the cargo area. I have owned both a
passenger van and a pickup ....... real attention getters but not nearly as
functional as my 85 Double Cab.

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, the Corvair vans were marketed as
"Greenbriars".  Yes, Ralphy aside, they were great little cars/vans.  Still
a lot of them on the road here in arid AZ.
