Seth, This is straight off the original window sticker on a 66 Corsa 180  
Turbo Coupe!
 
I've never heard of or seen one either & maybe one of the experts  would 
know for sure!
 
3A82AJ           HEADREST BENCH   SEAT                   $42.15
 
Thanks

 

Could be. Is that your car and your sticker? The car came with the  
headrests?
 
Tony Fiore's book, - The Corvair Decade lists:
 
For 1966 the only option A82 as Headrest, conv. type front seat. (That's a  
bench) 
 
For 1967 and 1968, Option A82, Headrest, conventional type front seat   
(10100 series - that's a 500 bench) 
and
Option AS2   Headrest, special contour type seat (10500  series - That's a 
Monza with Buckets)
 
For 69 - all optional headrests disappeared - they became standard
 
But the book also confirms that only the 500 series late models had  bench 
seats. All 65-up Monzas and Corsas had Buckets. For 1966, though, the  
flat-type seats might take the same design headrest as the bench, although I am  
sure a few headrest experts will explain the differences. <grin>
 
(PS - Maybe some at a computer back in 1966 missed a key!)
