Originally inspired by the Pontiac Grand Prix's success, the Monte
Carlo was to be a mega-success for Chevrolet with annual sales in
1976 approaching 400,000 cars. Affordable personal luxury was a
compelling claim. Offered here is a 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in
white over dark red. Showing 91,918 miles, the car has traveled
fewer than 2,100 miles per-year on average since new. As important,
it has been maintained in pristine condition, a tribute to owner
pride and dedication, and a perfect example of Seventies personal
luxury at a Chevrolet price. The exterior white paint has been
superbly cared-for; the finish is evenly glossy and free of damage.
The formal roofline with its opera windows shows particularly well
with no vinyl top to interrupt the classic lines. The model's
gently arched fender design, stacked quad-headlight arrangement,
and separate front grille-all personal luxury design cues-also show
very well in white. (To best assess the quality of the paint and
trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car
in the accompanying gallery.) Chrome trim on these cars was
restrained and tasteful. Here, the bumpers, grille, headlight trim,
body side moldings, and window surrounds all retain excellent shine
with minimal patina, and absolutely no damage. Cabin glass and
lighting lenses are crystal clear with no cracks. All factory
badging-including the Chevrolet coat-of-arms emblem in the front
grille and on the sailplanes, script Monte Carlo badges on the hood
and front fenders, and a similar badge with from Chevrolet added on
the rear valance-is in place and properly located. Stock steel
wheels with Chevrolet Motor Division hubcaps and chrome trim rings
are mounted with outline-white-letter Widetrack Radial tires. The
car's interior color theme is dark-red. Textured fabric seat
upholstery (with red vinyl trim) in this color remains in excellent
condition with little sign of wear and no damage at all. Its
vertically pleated design with upholstery buttons (all of which are
present) is true to the luxury promise. Door trim echoes the seat
upholstery design and color with added luxe touches including
chrome trim bits, pull handle, and a script Monte Carlo emblem.
Well-maintained dark-red carpeting covers the cabin floors. The
stock Chevrolet-branded steering wheel features woodgrain trim
(showing some delamination) and frames a square-design dashboard
layout, also trimmed in woodgrain (with even control and radio
knobs similarly wearing woodgrain applique). The shift lever for
the automatic transmission is mounted on the steering column.
Slide-levers control air conditioning and heating, and the factory
Delco® AM-FM stereo radio remains mounted. All hard and soft
surfaces in the cabin retain their near-original look and feel.
