<VV> Monza Jr.'s Big Brother

[James P. Rice]

All:  Patrick Murphy is correct about these bodies.  They are ex-amusement
park car rides, which went around in about a 20 ft. circle, firmly attached
to the center of the ride.  Lots of toe-in on the front and toe-out on the
back to keep tires alive. 

If you have it, see the June 2008 CORSA Communique, page 13-14.  Written by
me.  They were manufactured by the Dalton Kid Ride Rebuilders in Dalton
Missouri.  

With some kind of a chassis and maybe 10"dia rims off a 60's era racing
Mini-Cooper, and maybe a snowmobile engine/drivetrain, could be lots of fun.
FTD at a CORSA Convention auto-X?  Or maybe a SCCA F500 chassis, about which
I know next to nothing.  

Historically Yours
                          James Rice

Lengthened bodies?  Appear to all be 4 seaters.

Maybe the rear "cockpit" is where the engine would have been?

Later, JR

They are from an amusement ride. They never had an engine. They are not
Monza Jr bodies. They are just modeled after them.
