A pair of Corvairs recently recorded 27.03 and 26.21 miles per gallon in the
2,061.4-mile Mobilgas Economy Hun. That’s certified proof that Corvair skimps
on gas costs. It saves other ways, too. Corvair is the only U. S. compact car
that never needs antifreeze or costly radiator repairs. Come in and drive the
compact car that outdoes them all.
Things Corvair gives you that America’s other compact cars can’t:
Practically flat floor . . . real foot room for
the man in the middle. Fold-down rear
seat gives 17.6 cu. fl. of extra storage space.
Four-wheel independent suspension for
a smoother, flatter ride.
Rear-engine traction . . . that comes with
the engine's weight bearing down on the
rear wheels.
You probably realize already that the mile,
age figures Corvairs recorded in the Mobil-
gas Run are higher than the average driver
can expect. But because the cars met every
kind of driving condition —rugged mountain
grades, long country straightaways, congest-
ed city traffic—those mileage figures prove
Corvair'« inherent
ability to save. ( per-
