Singer made the early 66 class machine with a back-clamping foot arrangement (as opposed to the side-clamping arrangement common elsewhere) that was not used on their other machines. Although it was superceded fairly quickly, the enormous quantity of these machines that were made, and the hard-wearing nature of all the early machines, mean that there are still many in circulation and these are useful still.
I don't get many back-clamping attachments, and some types of feet have never been available for these machines. If you want to do quilting or machine embroidery on a vintage machine, I recommend you look for a 15 class machine....
