No Ford Pinto in existence when UAAS was published.

There was mention of the Beetle in UAAS.

This was a flawed question which suggests that the rest of the "test" 
is also suspect.    Nader's book wasn't specifically about the 
Corvair.    The Corvair just happened to be a target of opportunity, 
and it was simply the first chapter in the book.
