Ralph:

That was even "slimmer" than mine.  My first new car was a '65 500 
coupe.  I did have the 110/4 (for safety reasons I told my wife) and the 
fold down rear seat (for family expansion my wife told me) and the much 
coveted, highly rare, radio-delete option.   :)

I traded it in 1968 because my wife was right about the family, so we 
bought a new 1968 VW Bus -- with the highly desired 4 cylinder engine that 
apparently was later installed in lots of e-bay corvairs.
