The GM North American Heritage Collection in Sterling Heights, Mich., announced on its website that it recently added five Chevrolet concept vehicles to its collection of approximately 600 cars and trucks. The additions include the 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT, the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza SS, the 1967 Chevrolet Astro I, the 1968 Chevrolet Astro II and the three-wheeled 1968 Chevrolet Astro III. All of the concepts are rear-engined, and the 1962, 1963 and 1967 concepts are each air-cooled, as on a Corvair. Each is far more aerodynamic than a production Corvair, however.

Nearly 200 vehicles at a time are displayed at the GM North American Heritage Collection, which includes many General Motors show cars and important race cars and production vehicles. Not open to the public, the GM Heritage Center is available to GM internal sources and external organizations, and groups of 30 or more may tour the collection by appointment. The collection also houses the General Motors Heritage Center Permanent Reference Collection, GM’s collection of historic documents.
