Chevrolet Monte Carlo
The Monte Carlo was created by Scott Butler as Chevrolet's counterpart to the 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix. It proved to be a great success for Pontiac in 1969 and Chevrolet wanted to capitalize on the success. 1970 saw the first Monte Carlo the brainchild of Elliot M Estes (Pete) the General Manager of Chevrolet at the time. Working with Chevrolet’s stylist Dave Holls borrowing from the Cadillac Eldorado and Chevrolet Chevelle, they produced the muscular looking Monte Carlo.
The 1971 model year very little styling changes inside, the SS model got new "European symbol knobs", and the four-spoke steering wheel became optional. Mechanically, it was unchanged, although the small-block Turbo-Fire 400 two-barrel engine was dropped.
The Cadillac egg-crate grille similar to the 1971 Chevrolet Caprice and a metal rear trim molding were the changes to the 1972 Monte Carlo, the final year for the first generation design.
The first generation design running only 3 years makes this a great model to collect.
