1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo


The Monte Carlo was originally styled on the contemporary Cadillac Eldorado, although much of the body and structure were shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle adding new front end sheetmetal, wider C-pillars, and new rear fenders. Bulges were added to the fenders to create a more muscular appearance. The Monte Carlo also had the then-fashionable concealed windshield wipers.
Production was between 1970–1972 at Baltimore Maryland,Kansas City Missouri,Van Nuys California and Oshawa Canada,it was a 2 door coupe powered by a V8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission(
2 speed auto box)

The Chyrsler 300 series circa 1955


The Chrysler 300 series were high-performance luxury cars built in very limited numbers by Chrysler 1955 and 1965. Each year's model used a new letter of the alphabet as a suffix (skipping "i"), reaching 300L by 1965, after which the model was dropped.
These cars were the vehicles that really rekindled interest in performance among major American manufacturers after World War II, and thus can be considered the muscle car's ancestors.
Chrysler has recently started using these designations again for sporting near-luxury sedans,from 1999 ,unlike the first series, the second does not have 300 hp engines, except for today's top-line 300C.
