This one puzzled me for a while. I knew that very few American cars of that period had independent rear suspension with that type of geometry, but it clearly wasn't a Corvair.  A bit of digging suggests it is a Pontiac Tempest which shared the transaxle of a Corvair but with a front mounted engine.  I had completely forgotten about the Tempest.  Nice one.

Didn't the Tempest also have a wonderful flexible propshaft, basically a wire rope, to allow a low floor?
