....one of my favorite body styles that I believed might respond to some modifications. So, I gave it some!

As found:

70 Chevrolet Monte Carlo HT PS (1)

In monochrome, lowered a bit:

70 Chevrolet Monte Carlo HT PS (2)

Retained the vinyl top but raised the rocker panel line:

70 Chevrolet Monte Carlo HT PS (3)

Note that the modified photos have have a discrete stainless tailpipe added.

Enjoy!

July issue of Classic Car has an article about the 1970 - 1972 Monte Carlos.

They pictured this triple green '70 that looks just like the one I owned back then 

I traded it for a new 74 Charger. Not a good decision. Wish I'd kept that Monte!!

@david-vandermeer: Very nice ride, David. I was still driving used cars in '70 but had stepped up to 1-2 year old more deluxe models. That vintage Monte Carlo, when new, was out of my range.
