The History of the Monza SS Chevy Jr. (from a staff historian at the Corvair Society)
They were built by Rupp Manufacturing in Ohio on a fairly stock Rupp 
"Dart Kart" chassis, with the special Monza SS-replica bodies attached. 
They were initially made just for Chevrolet to give away at auto shows, 
traveling Chevy shopping center shows, Chevy exhibits at fairs, etc and 
even at Joie Chitwood thrill shows (a kart was used by clowns in their 
act, too). Later on, Rupp sold some on their own, and Chevy dealers 
could buy them for their own contests. Between 1965 & 1975, they 
were given away at ALL kinds of auto shows & fairs. From 1965-67 
they were called Monza Juniors (Monza Jr) and were red. From 1968 to 
approx. 1971 the name was changed to Chevy Jr, a white stripe was added 
to the nose, and the color changed to a red-orange. After that, the 
color changed to blue. Some were painted white and used at "Safetyville"
 in Flint, which was sort of a miniature town for driver training.
