The 55 Chevy was the first year of the Tri-five Chevrolet series. Fifty-Five, 55 and Double-Nickles all have the same meaning. That reminds me, we are now only 55 days and a wake-up away from our first members arriving in Carlisle to kick off our 2024 Eastern Meet. rob

So banana-man, what did I ever do to you? rob

Someone is up early this morning. lol.

I thought the seat belt cups in the rear might be a dealer add on but not sure. As for the cruise control, I think the load level compressor did not leave enough room for the cruise control to be installed at the factory. I have seen dealer installed cruise control on an SS454 though. There is room but maybe weren’t able to make it work as a factory installation.

FINALY 🤣 Maiden post hibernation cruise today, beautiful day low 70's. I was pulling back into the garage when I remember "someone" said I only post left side photos of the "imaginary" Monte so I backed up and took a right side photo 🤣

Dennis it's impossible to repay everyone for the banana stuff, you really earned that yourself!!!! lol And we Love you for it!!!

lol. I was kidding around but the original thought was banana abuse repayment.

After they started requiring shoulder harnesses they switched to the cups on hardtop cars

I think that I met him at a show in MN and that he isn't a member. On the username, that's a good question. I wanted an email address or username for something when I was ten and I think I chose it for the band, but it was 25 years ago so I don't quite remember. Once in a while I still get lucky enough to use the name without having to add numbers or letters when joining a site.

Finally was able to cut the whole yard . Before rain moves in again tomorrow.

Dan aka Overdrive fabricates the brackets. They are a work of art. I have them on "Big Red" absolutely beautiful!

Denny, Dan (overdrive) makes the brackets. I thought I just saw that he posted a set. I bought them from Dan years ago, they are identical to factory. The diaphragm will be a hard find. Someone on the forum made some at one time. overdrive - First Generation Monte Carlo Club (firstgenmc.com)

I remembered them as tabs and not cups. They were on a 68 Impala I had. I had forgot about them until I saw the photo of the interior of a 72 Monte that was for sale and really want to get some to keep the rear seatbelts organized, at least the buckle portion.

The rear seat technically weren’t cups. They were plastic pieces at the base of the rear seat that the belt buckles clipped on to. My low mile 72 had those as well as on the front bench seat.

Drive the Monte should be option 1, not 4.

I also would love to go to one of Aaron's meets in the BC. The pictures he posts of that area are beautiful. We can't this year but my wife and I have talked about either flying out one year. In reality we would have a couple or 3 options: 1) Fly out, rent a car and join i the fun. 2) Do a Canadian cross country train trip over to BC, rent a car and go to the meet or 3) Fly there from Eastern Canada go to the meet and then take the cross country Canadian train ride back east. rob

I've been wanting this done for quite a while, finally got it done. With everything that has gone on the last couple years with me and still going on I just said it's time to get it done so now it's done! It's there forever.

Just ran across this one https://www.freijeauctioneers.com/auctions/834/lot/35559-1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo

I'd buy that for $5.00 !!!

Nice car. Please post a price Mike.

I had to rearrange my magnet collection after yesterday's RockAuto delivery.
