List Members,

Reading a copy of the 1960 Corvair Brochure, with a copyright date of
1959, I found the following info on the last page:

Optional Equipment:  "... De luxe body equipment group includes
right-hand sun visor, front armrests, and cigarette lighter; comfort
and convenience group includes back-up lights, outside rearview
mirror, windshield washer, and glove compartment light..." 
Whitewalls, wheel trim rings, heater, radio, rear folding seat,
heavy-duty battery, and padded dash were listed separately.  I don't
think rear door armrests were available... looks like they would
interfere with the folding rear seat, but I guess you could open both
rear doors and then fold down the seat.  I don't think I have ever
seen a '60 sedan with rear armrests.

Hope this helps.
