Well, it's a brake for going shooting in. Simple, really! That's why the 
early ones were wood-framed.

I still don't understand why, when the car was marketed as a Corvair Sport 
Sedan, it's not one.

Were Chevy degrading it (not forgetting, of course, that it's not actually a 
Chevy, because it doesn't say Chevy anyway on it and was supposed to be 
going to be marketed as a standalone brand like Edsel - n'est-ce pas?).
