For anyone interested in Chevy history, here's a neat tale involving the Cavalier and Walt Disney World. For the park's 15th Birthday, one of the daily giveaway prizes in 1986 and 1987 were Chevy Cavaliers. They gave away one Cavalier a day for an entire year, and also featured them prominently for their Main Street Parades, and at Epcot Center. Here's a blog post I wrote today with some pictures and history about the program if anyone is interested.

I've got a soft spot for them. I know its a little newer than most VCCA folks tend to like, but these cars are 25+ years old. Let me know what you think, and best wishes for the holidays. Thank you all!

Thank you for the comments, John. Much obliged. BTW: I am trying to scope out tires for your Monza and hope to find something that can work. I'll post if I do.

I see you have a newer Cavalier in your collection. I hope it serving you well.
