I probably shouldn't, but I kind of dig the body of this car.

The Corvair was the Motortrend car of the year in their first model, in 1960. The new model here had some nice upgrades.

The Monza upscale was rolled out. New trim for the four-door and the coupe, a four-speed transmission and DeLuxe vinyl bucket seats. It was a hit with the younger market, "the poor man's Porsche" for the early Boomers. A station wagon, joined the lineup in 1961, too. Later in the year A/C was offered in the cars, but not on the wagons.

The dad over there on the left could tell. The times were a-changing.
