Spotted on the highway. Had a Beetle front end. Assuming it is still rear engined, how practical can it actually be?

I’ve seen a few of these. It makes a lot more seen than a Beetle I tell you

WOW!

Oddly enough this was very different to that. I assume that also maintains the engine in the back, how ridiculous!

Chevrolet Corvair Pickup. It uses an air cooled flat 6, rear mounted just like a VW. In fact, Chevrolet dealers and their mechanics were so unfamiliar with the air cooled engines, they started hiring Porsche and VW mechanics from other local dealerships to come work on the Corvairs.
