Know your montes, Know this fact

A lot of people seem to think that your Monte carlo is just not correct if it doesnt have the black paint on the rocker panels. NOT TRUE, my black cherry 70 left the factory without it. I don't know the specifics but dark colored cars left the factory as body color there. no black. This may be different for different assy. plants. Just wanted to clear that rumor up. its a pet peeve of mine.

Kevin,

I wonder if this only occured at certain assembly plants?

Or was left off in early/late production possibly.

All the "unmolested" Montes I have owned/seen have the rockers painted black.

My 72 "Midnight Bronze" had and still has it.(only body color darker than midnight bronze that I've seen is black). My parents owned the car since 1973, so its always been that way.

Just some food for thought.

Anyone else have any for comparison?
