Chevrolet Corvair Monza

An early ’60s classic, the Chevrolet Corvair Monza was named after the beautiful Italian city of Monza, in the Lombardy region. And while this two-door coupé does look like something you’d take on a road trip around the Mediterranean, it is also an American classic with a Z-body platform and a Flat-6 engine.

Inspired by classic models of manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen, the Corvair Monza featured a ‘quadri-flex’ design with rear-incorporated independent suspension arms and four-wheel coil springs. Production of the 1st-generation Chevrolet Corvair Monza lasted between 1959 and 1964.
