Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1987 $-1

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is an American-made two-door coupe introduced for model year 1970, and manufactured over six generations through model year 2007. The Monte Carlo was originally created as Chevrolet's counterpart to the then new G-Body Pontiac Grand Prix, which had been introduced for model year 1969.The Monte Carlo was conceived by Elliot M.(Pete) Estes, general manager of Chevrolet, and Chevrolet's chief stylist, Dave Holls. They modeled the styling on the contemporary Cadillac El Dorado, although much of the body and structure were shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle (firewall, windshield, decklid, and rear window were the same). New exterior styling featured concealed windshield wipers.A mid-1990s article in the magazine Chevrolet High Performance stated that the first generation Monte Carlo was known to Chevrolet management under the working name Concours (a usual practice was that all Chevrolet model development names started with a 'C'). At one point, the proposal called for a formal coupe, sedan, and convertible.For 1986, there were four distinct body styles available. The base model Sport Coupe was still available with the same general body panels that it had since 1981, but featured new 'aero' side mirrors similar to those on Camaros and Chevrolet Corvette of the 1980s . New for the 1986 model year was a Luxury Sport model that had a revised front fascia, new 'aero' side mirrors, and an updated sleek-looking rear fascia. The LS front fascia included 'Euro' headlamps with removable bulbs in a glass composite headlamp housing, versus the smaller sealed beam glass headlights of previous years. The rear bumper of the LS no longer had a 'notch' between the bumper and trunk, and the taillights wrapped around so that they were visible from the sides of the car. The Super Sport model for 1986 incorporated the 'aero' mirrors, yet still utilized the prior year's styling for the rear bumper.Also new this year was the Aerocoupe model. The Aerocoupe was created by modifications to the Super Sport body, including a more deeply sloped rear window and a shorter trunk lid sporting a spoiler that lay more flat than previous Super Sports. Only 200 Aerocoupes were sold to the public, which happened to be the exact number NASCARofficials required for road model features to be incorporated into the racing cars.For 2000, Chevrolet not only again called upon GM Motorsports for design inspiration, but also to Monte Carlos of the past. Among the traits carried over from older Monte Carlos were the stylized wheel flares, vertically oriented tail lamps, and a stylized rear bumper. Another classic trait for 2000 was the return of the 'Knight' badging, as well as a full gauge cluster, not seen on the Monte Carlo since 1988. In addition, Chevrolet stylist added a slight 'hump' on the rear trunk, similar; although smaller than a Lincoln Mark; but, nonetheless, adding a distinct mark that stayed with Monte Carlo until its demise. From the NASCAR circuit came the aerodynamic styling and duck tail spoiler as well as myriad commemorative and special edition packages.Check out the video we have or see more pictures at www.karconnectioninc.com
