Earlier this year OPGI’s Marketing Team met with some late-model Cadillac owners. We invited 5 people to have their Cadillac’s photographed for use in our upcoming Late Model Cadillac parts catalog (CTS, ATS, STS, XLR, and Escalades) as well as a chance to appear in our commercial for our extended product line.

Introducing our latest project car – a little-on-the rough-side 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder (turbocharged). A diamond in the rough? We think so. This is an all-original Z-Body (the letter-based platform designated by General Motors for the Corvair 500, Monza and Corsa models) hails from Long Island, NY.
