1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

In was in 1970 when Chevrolet Monte Carlo was introduced as a new model. It was designed to be an upscale luxury model for older buyers looking for style and comfort. In 1971, Monte Carlo remained relatively unchanged. And in 1972, Monte Carlo again received minor changes to body and interior. The previously added hood ornament was deleted. Parking lamps were moved from the bumper to inboard of the headlamps, set vertically in the grille panel. The SS package was not available, but a 454 V-8 was still among the engine choices. Also still available, but rarely chosen, were the standard 3-speed and 4-speed manual transmissions.
