[FC] Re: Corvan versus Greenbriar and more

[Bryan Blackwell]

Greenbriers were indeed passenger vehicles - in fact they were sold as 
Wagons, not Vans (similar to the Econoline/Falcon nomenclature).  
Corvair 95s (Corvans) were meant as, and usually bought as, utility 
vehicles.

The camper was a very rare option.  Greenbriers were bought as minivans 
are today.  I'm pretty sure one of the rear seats was an option, I 
think the rearmost one.  The other was standard.
