We just thought it would be pleasant if you could buy a car that treats you, the driver, like you want to be treated. The bucket seats, of course, are the most obvious evidence of our desire to please you. But they're not the most important thing. No sir. What's really vital is the way a Monza handles some thing nobody in the U.S. has yet copied. Or can copy. Be causa Corvair is the only rear-engined car made in t his country, and you know what that means: steering light as thistledown, (You even park this one more easily, it steers so briskly.) Beautifully bal anced braking the car stays level even under panic brak ing, which we hope youll never have to do. Traction and more traction, so you don't become a stick-in-the-mud. The kind of cornering that's sheer joy to experi ence. You get more: a fully independent suspen sion that blots out road shocks before they can ruffle you. Clean, crisp styling.
