Chevy Monza SS (XP-777) & Monza GT concept cars

1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza SS
The Chevy Monza SS (XP-777) topless two-seat prototype was based on the Corvair rear-engine platform with a shortened 88-inch wheelbase. Styling reflected Corvette influence, and predicted rear design of 1965 Corvair.
This is the open roadster version of the experimental Monza. It was dubbed the Monza SS and appeared along with its GT sibling in 1962, over 40 years ago! The lines of both these cars were so aerodynamic that even today, they would rival many modern cars in wind tunnel tests.
