The Last Year of the Chevy Monza
The last year of production for the Chevrolet Monza was 1980. The Monza was a series of compact cars introduced in 1975 and was based on the Chevrolet Vega. It was offered as a hatchback, coupe, or station wagon. Originally, the Monza was designed to fit a Wankel rotary engine, but the project never materialized, and a V8 option was available instead. The Monza had a six-year tenure before it was replaced by the Chevrolet Cavalier.
