Overall Interior Volume
The Late Model Corvair, despite its compact size for its time, boasted an exceptionally spacious interior, offering ample room for both front and rear passengers. This thoughtful design prioritized comfort without sacrificing the vehicle’s sleek exterior dimensions. Nevertheless, if you prioritize a comfortable back seat that does not compromise on seating height, riding in the front seat may be a more suitable option for you.
