I would like to know if the following are Factory '65 Corsa Options:
1) Driver & Passenger seat Head Rests ?
2) Center Console ?
3) Tissue dispenser ?

Factory RPO A82 (Front seat headrests) was not available for Corvairs until 1966

The cast metal surrounding the shifter base on the Corsa was named a "console" in Chevrolet literature. Anything more than that would have been installed by the owner.

A Tissue dispenser is a Chevrolet Dealer Accessory - never a factory option.

You don't ask but the padded dash and 2 speed wipers with washers were 65 factory options.
Like Dan said, none of the 3 were factory options (unless you call the shifter base a "center console").

Same for the day / night rear view mirror

I like to think just the Corsa option itself has many special features.

In 1965 and 1966, The Feds were establishing dates -usually in January, where things that used to be optional became required. So several things listed as options in early year literature may have been standard by mid-year. Unless you seek how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or you are judging Concours events, most of this stuff is not important. (I will go back to my cave now!)
