Year Models?

Can anyone figure out what year model these EM Corvairs are?

IF the first two photo's are of the same car, it appears to be a 1963. For further confirmation, the Instrument panel should have a Horizontal Stripe pattern to it. IF it is a Monza, the Glovebox Door should have the same pattern.
Looking closely at the 1963 coupe, it appears to have a 1960 trunk lid up front and the rear hood is missing the correct emblem and could possibly be from a 1961. After all these years anything is possible.

IF the second two photo's are of the same car, it appears to be a 1960 sedan. It should also have a gasoline heater in the trunk up front.
If you look at the front panel, it is concave and the hood does not have a ridge in the center like the 1961-1964 cars.

IF you look close at the lower corners of the front panel and see an actual Vent or Slots on the Driver's side and a simulated one on the Passenger side, then the car is a very early 1960 and there are a few folks out there who would like to know about it.

Attached are correct photo references of each of the Early Model cars from 1960 through 1964 to help further identify what you have there.

Wonderful explanations and pics.

Based on the rear taillight lenses, and confirmed by the front "grill" trim and the side logo, this is (was) a 1963 Corvair Monza Model 927 2-door Club Coupe.

Although I haven't seen it since the early 1970s (photos from April 1972), I hope my old 1962 Monza Coupe is still on the road, being driven regularly, and looks much better than the "junkyard dog" shown in the image above!

Although obscured by decorative plants, the front-end of the four-door sedan has that "Caveman Corvair" look from 1960.
