The '''Chevrolet Lakewood''' is a 4 door [[station wagon]] produced by [[Chevrolet]] in the 1961 and 1962 model years. It was the station wagon version of the [[Chevrolet Corvair|Corvair]] and therefore the entrance level station wagon series. In size, appearance and technical respects it ressembled to the [[Volkswagen Type 3]] and power came from the Corvair's rear engine with 146 cu.in. displacement which developed 80 bhp @ 4,400 rpm. Like the Corvair it had a 108 in. wheelbase and was equipped with a 3 speed manually shifted gearbox. | |||

1961 the Lakewood was available in base form as part or the ''Corvair series 500'' and in more luxury form as ''Corvair series 700''. During the following year the base trim level was called ''Corvair Deluxe series 700'' and the top-of-the line model was the ''Corvair Monza series 900''. The series 900's engine developed 84 bhp and was connected to a 2 speed [[Powerglide]] automatic gearbox. | |||
For 1963 the Corvair station wagons were no longer offered. In two years 32,120 Lakewoods were made. Only 2,362 of them (only model year 1962) with standard Powerglide. | |||
