Description
Corvair – Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 10/2″ ad that lets us get acquainted with the 1960 Corvairs. At the top of the ad is a drawing of a Chevrolet Corvair being driven with at least two people in a family. It is hard to tell because the inside of the car seems to have quite a bit of items strewn everywhere. The headline claims that it is a “Small wonder – with a wonderful ride”. It then says that “In a Corvair even a ho-hum trip through town can be a happy experience. You not only don’t mind the traffic, it’s kind of a challenge to your Corvair’s lighthearted handling and nimble reflexes. Same goes for parking. You’ll get a real boot out of driving this car. And practical, too. Air-cooled rear engine (no water, no antifreeze). Virtually flat floor. Independent suspension at all four wheels. Low price. Little gas. And a fold-down rear seat is standard. But we know why you’ll really want a Corvair. Just drive one and you’ll know, too”. The ad then goes on to make more extensive explanations on these items.
