The Velie Monocoupe was an American general aviation aircraft. The Monocoupe was manufactured from 1927-9 by Velie Motors Corporation. It was a wood-frame doped fabric-covered monoplane (hence the name) seating two people in an enclosed cabin. In all there were 350 Velie Monocoupes produced. Upon W. L. Velie's death his son had planned to continue making planes but he died within months of his father.
