Car, a 60 Corvair Monza, is being presented by the Corvair Society of
America.
Jim Powell owner
The Corvair was introduced in Oct. 1959, featuring a rear mounted 6cyl
140 cu. in. 90 hp air-cooled engine, and the first GM 4 wheel
independent suspension. The transaxle design became common place in
later years. Station wagon, Convertible, Van and truck versions were introduced
before the end of production in 1969.
The Butler County Antique and
Classic Car Club welcomes the Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus Chapters
of the Corvair Society of America to our 2010 Parade.

The 2009 Parade
The Antique and Classic Car Club of Butler County thanks everyone who
turned out and made our 2009 parade a success, even though the morning
persistent rain showers hampered the judging and car showing at the West
Side Shopping Center. Despite the weather the parade to the Fairfield
stopover started on time with 275 registered vehicles. By the time the
parade arrived in downtown Hamilton the skies were clearing.

In 2009 the
Hudson automobile was featured in our historic parade in
recognition of Hudson's 100th anniversary. In memory of long
time Club member David Stewart his 1952 Hudson Commodore 8, now
owned by his daughter Vickie Keller, led the parade. David
Stewart traded a camper for the car in 1969 and added more miles
to the odometer than it had when he acquired it. It now has
92,000 miles. The old Hudson is special to Vickie since it was
produced the year she was born. She tells that it never required
more than minor maintenance and tires, plus the tender loving
care her father gave it. It's still a beautiful good running
automobile, all original including the paint and mohair
upholstery. The 254 cu. in. L head straight eight engine
produces 128 HP and is mated to a GM Hydromatic. |
