BSCC- 61 62 MONZA WITH CLOTH INTERIOR REGISTRY respond to WADE please

[C. Raia]

Hi Folks, I would appreciate if you would pass this along to your chapter 
members or newsletter editor.

I'm starting a new registry that is for 
1961 & 1962 Corvair Monzas with factory cloth upholstery, which were the 
only two years for this option and only on the 4-door models, to include the 
1962 Monza station wagon.  The cloth seats were available with the bench 
front seat both years and with the bucket seats for a short time early in 
1961.  Corvair Monzas with the cloth bench seats surface 
occasionally.  A 61 4-door and a 62 4-door were on eBay recently with the 
cloth interiors, however I have only heard reports of one or two with the cloth 
bucket seats ever being seen.  The cloth was not as durable as vinyl, so 
unless the car was low mileage and/or well cared for, the cloth portions of the 
seats usually wore out.

The purpose of this registry is to locate and 
record any 1961 and 1962 Monza still in existence with factory cloth interiors, 
to document the unique features of these interiors and to collect data such as 
VIN, Body Plate information and photographs of cars with these interiors.  
Eventually I hope to have enough information and pictures to make a good 
Communique article.

I have a 4-page packet I can email as a pdf file that 
includes more details, color illustrations of a typical 61 and 62 interior with 
cloth upholstery and a Registry Form.  Let me know if you are interested in 
participating in this registry and I'll send you the packet.  I can also 
send the Registry Form as a separate Word file if you want to file it out and 
return it electronically.  If you can't accept a pdf email attachment, I 
will mail the package by USPS if you give me your address, but the illustrations 
will be in black & white.  

Even if you know of one of these 
Monzas that someone else owns or one in a junkyard, it would still be of 
interest for this registry regardless of condition.

Thanks,
Wade
