Beautiful 1961 Monza coupe! That red interior (my favorite EM color) brings back a lot of memories! Our very first family Corvair was a brand new 1961 white Monza coupe with a red interior that my parents bought at Courtesy Chevrolet in San Jose, California when I was only 8 years old. That family car, and the later trade-in for a new 1965 Corsa convertible, set the "hook" for me. I tested for my first driver's license in that 1965 Corsa in 1969, got married and went on our honeymoon in a 1962 Monza coupe in 1972, and at age 68 my wife and I still use our Corvairs as daily drivers in North Carolina.

My father bought the Corvair that became one of my first. It was a Mist Blue 140hp 1965 Corsa convertible. The picture below shows my father and me at the Edwards AFB, California air show in 1965 (I was 12 years old). The second picture was following a repaint and new top at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts in 1980 while I was in the Air Force (1972-1996), just before we were transferred to West Germany (we took the Corvair with us). Years later I foolishly let it go and sold it to my daughter-in-law's father while we were living in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. I had been working as an Air National Guard technical advisor (still on Active Duty) while stationed at Fort Indiantown Gap. We lived in Lebanon, Pennsylvania from 1993 until we moved to join my father in North Carolina in 2008. The third picture is of my current Corvairs, a 1966 Corsa convertible and a 1966 Monza sedan.
