for participation in the the 2008 GM Century Cruise
1963 Corvair Monza Convertible, light blue. Dave and I have owned the vehicle since August, 2006. It was restored in the late 1980s and sold, then it sat in a garage untouched for about 12 years. After we purchased it, we restored it back to a great running condition and enjoy driving it in the summers. It has a few minor blemishes around the rear wheel wells, but is in great condition overall.
GM’s Century Cruise pays tribute to GM’s past and the passion owners have for their vehicles. On Saturday, August 16, 2008 this vehicle and more than 100 other classic GM vehicles will cruise from the GM Global Headquarters at the Renaissance Center up Woodward Avenue to the heart of the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak and the surrounding suburbs. One of these vehicles will be crowned “top cruiser” based on a text voting campaign.
