Corvair Memorabilia and Collectibles
This is the Franklin Mint's 1960 Corvair Monza, packaged as Motor Trend magazine's "Car of the Year" for 1960. The 2:24 scale die-cast example is highly detailed. |
AMT models of the late model Corvair were available is all model years. The Corsa, offered in 1965 and '66 included Fitch Sprint modifications such as the Sprint roof add-on. The Monza pictured here offers both Sprint and Yenko Stinger parts. I can remember building two versions of a similar kit in 1965, one pure stock version, and the other heavily modified with a frame and front-mounted V-8 and blower sticking up in front of the windshield. Neither one survived more than 30 years of moving around. |
