The first vehicles were a six to nine passenger window van version of the Corvair 95 van.
The Corvair 95 series also included the Loadside pickup truck and Rampside pickup truck that featured a mid-body ramp on the right side.
All used the Corvair powertrain in a truck body and were produced in the model years 1961 to 1965.
The Greenbrier name was used a second time from 1969 until 1972; for the mid-level Chevelle station wagon.
Chevrolet introduced the Corvair lineup for the 1960 model year as the first of a series of generations of passenger compact cars.
Chevrolet introduced a more utilitarian style of vehicle the following year under the model designation Corvair 95.
The air-cooled horizontally opposed Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine was located in the rear of the vehicle under a slightly raised cargo floor.
The 145 cu in engine developed 80 hp at 4,400 rpm.
Engine size was increased to 164 cu in.
for the 1964 model year, raising output to 95 hp.
Unlike the Corvair cars, the Corvair Greenbrier had a 95 in wheelbase and were thus known as 95s.
They came standard with a three-speed manual transmission but could be ordered with a two-speed Corvair Powerglide automatic transmission (distinct from the usual Powerglide); eventually a four-speed manual was also made available.
There were essentially two different bodies available in the 95 series:
the van and the truck.
The base version was the panel van (Corvan) with no side or rear windows.
The van was named Greenbrier.
The Greenbrier normally had windows all around and six doors, although an option was to have eight doors where there were opening double doors on both sides.
The Greenbrier seated up to nine people with the available third-row seat.
The 95s and cars had an optional heater using gasoline from the vehicle's tank.
The Greenbrier also had a camper option.
Although the Greenbriers were a limited success, passenger vans would continue to evolve through full-sized vans.
The similarly sized 7-8 passenger would become a successful vehicle segment by the 1980s as alternatives to station wagons.
