1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

As Chevrolet Started to produce 1986 Monte Carlos, it can be noted that the same body and front as last year was just carried over. It comes in 3 trims to which are the LS 2-door Coupe, Sport 2-door Coupe, and SS Sport 2-door Coupe. Introduced later in 1986 was the Luxury Sport Coupe, which included new front end, rear tail lamps and bumpers. Up front, the four rectangular headlamps were replaced with single composite headlamps molded into a new, smoothed, grille and bumper design. In the rear, the tail lamps were enlarged and molded into a smoothed rear bumper cover.

The SS remained unchanged for 1986, except for the addition of the Monte Carlo Aero Coupe, a modification that included a drastically sloped rear window and short trunk lid. Only 200 Aero Coupes were produced for retail consumers in 1986; exactly the number necessary to allow NASCAR racing teams using the Monte Carlo body to legally make the modification to their race cars. This modified version of the SS improved the aerodynamic performance of the car high speeds like those attained on the NASCAR super-speedways.
