That's the car. I wonder why they called it a 'Spyder'? Did they know what that means?!
Another picture:
To GM in the 70's, "Spyder" meant "sporty version of Corvair from the 1960's". Available in hardtop and convertible...

Since car names are more about image than meaning, "spyder" was just another exotic-sounding (and spelling) European name that implied "sporty" -- like "Monza", both terms used previously by GM.
Or "GTO" and its base-model sedan, the Pontiac LeMans. It's all about the image ;)
