Chevrolet Monte Carlo
From 1970 - 1877
In 1970 Chevrolet introduced a car that would have the longest hood ever on a Chevy car. The 1970 Monte Carlo was born as a brother of the ever-so-collectible Chevelle. They shared the same body (GM's A-Body) and both featured Super Sport packages. The Monte Carlo was designed to be a luxury sports car, focusing on handling, control and comfort combined with sporty styling and power. The SS package (available on 1970 and 1971 models) added power to the Monte Carlo. The Monte kept the same basic body styling through 1972.
The second generation Monte began in 1973, while it remained an A-Body car. The body got some big changes, you could still tell it was a Monte but the curves in the body were very noticeable. Also, the front end was more square, as well as the rear which was now very sloped. These cars look like something a "pimp" would drive (hey, it's my webpage) and are very flashy and cool looking. They weren't so much focused on power as they were before, during the end of the muscle car era, but these cars from 1973-1977 were luxury with lots of style.
