" See your local A pair of Corvairs recently recorded 27.03 and 26.21 miles per gallon in the 2,061.4-mile Mobilgas Economy Run. That's certified proof that Coryair 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 tb« compact car that outdoes them alL Things Corvair gives yon that America's other compact cars cant: Practically flat floor .. • real foot roam for the man in the middle. Fold-down rear seat gives 17.6 eu. ft. 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 mileage figures Corvairs recorded in the Mobilgas Ron are higher than the average driver ran expect. But because the cars met everj kind of driving condition--ragged mountain grades, long country straightaways, congested citv traffic--those mileage figures prove Corvair's inherent ability to save. Operating costs take a nose dive the day you take delivery of a Corvair.
