NEW '61 CHEVY CORVAIR
More space . . .
more spunk
and wagons, too!
The newest car in America: the CORVAIR 700 LAKE-
WOOD 4-DOOR STATION WAGON.
CORVAIR 700 CLUB COUPE. Like all coupes and sedans, it has a longer range fuel tank.
CORVAIR 700 4-DOOR SEDAN. Provisions for hea ing ducts are built right into its Body by Fisher.
Here's the new Chevy Corvair for '61 with a complete line of complete thrift cars.
To start with, the Corvair has a budgetpleasing price tag. And Corvair goes on from there to save you even more. With extra miles per gallon . . . quicker-than ever cold-start warmup so you start saving sooner . . . a new extra-cost optional heater_that warms everyone evenly. Riding along with this extra economy: more room inside for you, more room up front for your luggage (sedans and coupes have almost 12% more usable trunk space).
And our new wagons? You'll love them think they're the greatest thing for families since houses. The Lakewood Station Wagon does a man-sized job with cargo, up to 68 cubic feet of it. The Greenbrier Sports Wagon you're going to have to see—it gives you up to 175.5 cubic feet of space for you and your things.
Corvair's whole thrifty lineup gets its pep from a spunkier 145-cu..in. air-cooled rear engine. Same rear-engine traction, same smooth 4-wheel independent-suspension ride. See the polished and refined 1961 Corvair first chance you get at your Chevrolet dealer's.
Spare tire is in the rear in coupes and sedans—leaving more luggage space up front.
Even middle-seat passengers sit pretty, thanks to Corvair's practically flat floor.
production—the GREENBRIER SPORTS WAGON with up to twice as much room as ordinary wagons (third seat optional at extra cost).
