Check out that arm candy with the frazzy hair at 00:12. I bet she's snoozing behind those shades.

That video is depressing. Was that car ever considered cool?

It still is cool if you're into jean shorts.

I hate the lack of articles. Sounds retarded. "Monte Carlo SS has the look of a winner."

Srsly.

Wheels and tires have historically been a strong point of GM cars, and these 5-spoke aluminum wheels and Eagle GT tires are winners . The car they're bolted to, not so much...

The second model of Monte Carlo--'though big--was a really good-looking car--the best-looking full-sized Chevy since the '65 Impala SS fastback coupe (Don't even think of arguing that the Monte Carlo was anything other than a full-sized car ).  The first model of Monte Carlo, however, looked like an inflatable with a bit too much air in it.  The second model was right, then they down-sized it and screwed it up.  'Twas a sad, sad day in vehicledom

I sat in its cousin, the Grand National, and couldn't sit up straight because my head touched the headliner. And I'm 5'9".

The first-gen Monte Carlo looked like a larger Chevelle with two headlights missing. I still think I prefer it to the second, however.




Yes.

My brother had one of these when we were younger (like late 1990's). At the time I thought it was a pretty cool car.

Most people do, Omi. Most people do. there's a reason THEY appreciate greatly in value and the 2nd gens not so much.

Oh, and the 2nd gens (same chassis as my Pontiac Grand LeMans) were intermediate chassis cars, not full size.  The Impala/Caprice and Bonneville were full size.

How Miss Brown of Nutley, N.J. ever went to the shops in her '76 Impala, I shall never know.

ChrisV:  The GM spin doctors spent a lot of money to convince the gullible that the Monte Carlos were intermediates.  A tape measure will reveal otherwise...
