Unique because of standard features you get with Corsa alone.  Like the Turbo-Air 164 Engine with 140 horsepower.  Like the appearance touches that set Corsa apart from it Corvair brethren.  Both sport coupe and convertible flash distinctive nameplates and series insignia, new wheel covers with Corca emblem, bright metal shift lever and base.  Rear cove area is silver painted as well as covered with bright metal.  Restrained refinements, to be sure; intended to beautify without altering the clean-cut concept.

Like the businesslike instrumentation the driver is faced with: special speedometer, trip odometer, manifold pressure and cylinder head temperature gauges, electric clock with sweep second hand.  Tachometer, too (Lets you select the best engine speed to shift gears for maximum efficiency and economy.)

Also unique because it's the only production car in the world you can order with a factory-installed supercharged engine.  We call this exclusive 180-hp Corsa engine the Turbo-Charged 164.

Get the feeling that Corsa completely upstages it fellow '66 Corvairs?  Not at all. Here are just a few of its traits that run in the whole family, Monza and 500 included.  Still the only U.S.-built car with rear-engine design.  Unsurpassed ride and handling qualities.  A new fully synchronized 3-Speed as standard transmission.  (Means you can stab into low at slow speeds  without stopping,  just as your can if you order the 4-Speed version.)  New comfort and convenience items now standard on every '66 Corvair: outside rearview mirror; padded instrument panel; padded sun visors; windshield washer and two-speed wipers (glare-reducing); backup lights; and shatter-resistant inside rearview mirror.

New-style taillights.  A new engine air exhaust grille.  New dual rear seat belts to match those up front (color-keyed, of course).  Curved frameless side glass affording lumberjack shoulder room.  And a refined four place ignition switch that won't let you flip the key into the "accessory" position unless you really want to.

Then, too, there are many niceties Corsa has in common only with the Monza.  Plush front bucket seats, for example.  Fold-down rear seat in the Corsa Sport Coupe.  Richly carpeted floors; dual-spoke steering wheel with horn ring; convenient armrests.

Black-texture instrument panel trim plates; instrument panel dual courtesy lights in the Corsa Convertible.  Luggage compartment mat, automatic interior lights, glove box light.  And many more.

Oh, yes, one thing you can't get with either '66 Corsa.  Bored.
