1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza
Chassis no. 40967W272596

Easily one of the most infamous cars within the American culture, no thanks to Ralph Nader, is the Chevrolet Corvair. Its decidedly European influenced, rear engine design was a major departure for the American Manufacturer and has grown to become iconic in subsequent decades. Marketed as a sporty compact, numerous body styles were available from the coupe to the Greenbrier van.

Seen here is the Convertible variant in Monza Trim with an attractive red and black color combination. It was brought into the collection in 1991 and has sat since. Overall the vehicle shows with some wear both on the exterior and interior, but a through restoration should bring this sporty classic back to its former glory. With its air-cooled flat 6 humming away and the top down, this Chevy is destined to provide its next owner with plenty of sunshine filled weekend cruises.
