Here's what I have:


SAE defines "luggage area" in a first gen Corvair (back seat area) as 
being 17.6 cubic feet with the back seat folded down.   With the seat 
up, the area is 13.3 cubic feet.   Forward luggage area (trunk) is 
11.3 cubic feet.

This area does not include the space above the bodyline in the 
vehicle which is by specs mandated to be clear so as to not block 
driver vision.   Actual floor to ceiling space is not listed in the 
papers I have... best I can provide at the moment.

Oddly enough, the lit I have does not define the space of the front 
seating area.


I have other paperwork stuck somewhere that likely has better specs 
but I haven't been able to find the stuff.
