General Information: The 4th of Daum's
Relief series, the Monza was designed by Xavier Froissart in 1988,
as an Italian Touring Coupe of the 1960's. I actually have 3 Monza's
in my collection. One car is standard production, signed Daum France.
Another car is not signed "Daum
France", and has some internal bubbles, so may be a factory
reject sold to employees. It does have an stamped mark on it
that seems to say
"Nancy",
which was generally used to indicated Factory Seconds.
I also have a third Monza that is etched with a number "1"
rather than the number "2" which is standard. It also has 2 etched
stripes along the top of the car rather than the normal one. Unfortunately
this car is not signed or stamped, so there is no information as
to how official this variation is. Since it is not signed, I am considering
it to be a variation of the normal Monza, rather than seperate collectible
car in its own right. If anyone has any further information about
the number "1" Monza, please let me know. See below for photos
