Description
Rupp Chevy Jr. fiberglass body built by Rupp Manufacturing in Mansfield, Ohio for General Motors. Until the mid 1970’s, GM used Rupp Chevy Jr.’s go carts for dealership displays, promotions, and children’s safety programs. Originally named the Monza Jr. from 1965-1967, the fiberglass body was designed at the Chevy Tech Center for GM V.P. Bill Mitchell’s stepson Tony to enjoy. The body was based on the 1965 Chevy Monza SS Show Car. GM’s Director of Style Chuck Jordan had one made mounted on a Rupp go-cart for his son. The Shriners had a fleet of 22 Chevy Jr. for use in local parade’s.
