Here we see a Monza Sport Coupe in Sierra Tan, equipped with the standard full wheel disks. While at first glance they appear to be identical to those of the Corsa, each model had its own distinctive center insert bearing either the Monza or Corsa emblem.

With the exception of the dashboard and slight trim differences, the Monza was as well appointed as the Corsa. Bucket seats with bright metal side moldings were standard. There was deep twist carpeting and a choice of 8 "lively" interior colors (seven for the sport sedan): fawn, red, blue, saddle, black, slate, white with aqua and white with black.

Other touted aspects of the Monza interior included deep recessed instruments and map pockets in the front door panels. They made no mention of the smiling young woman in the passenger seat!

The practically-minded individual could choose the stylish 4-door Sport Sedan in either the Monza or Corvair 500 series. The 4-door was relatively popular, and offered greater rear seat room and an attractive roof line and streamlined, good looks.

Never forgetting its "economy car" roots, GM highlighted the fact that even budget-minded people could now own a hard-top! The pillerless design was also a feature of the Corvair 500 Sport Coupe.

Performance-minded people on a budget could option the 500 with the 4-carburetor, 140 horsepower engine and 4-speed synchomesh transmission, replace the stock steel wheels and hub caps with mags and end up with a very quick, attractive, base model.
