The Corvair occupied chapter one of the book and wasn't mentioned afterwards. The Mustang got several chapters and much worse criticism but they were in the middle of the book. I guess lots of folks just read the first chapter. At the time it was the most successful model introduction in history. It may still be. I don't think Nader's or anyone else's criticism could have stemmed the stampede for the "Pony Car." It was Lee Iaccoca's brainchild and made his whole career. I preferred Corvettes myself, but I could understand the Mustang's popularity. If I remember correctly the price for a bare bones model was $1795 at it's introduction in April 1964. It appealed to people who thought they were buying a real sports car on the cheap.
