overdrive Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Rob, do you think all '70s from the Baltimore plant had the full halo trim? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 No they did not. My mom's, my first Monte Carlo was a 70 built in the Baltimore plant and it had a full vynal top, not a Halo and no under headlight chrome trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dan, I can mostly speak about my own. Mine being built the third week of June is a very late build. I also can't speak to how many assembly lines were in individual plants. From pictures I have seen of some of the plants, they had multiple lines running at the same time. I guess my main point is when I see people post that the "Full Halo" and under headlight trim were only on early production Monte's. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian neder Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have 2 70 monte carlos. Michigan plant. 05A monte has the 70 type or that 1inch paint line there. The other is a 05C Michigan plant monte. Vinyl top Trim goes straight to the windshield. 71 type trim. 05c monte was never messed with. Purchased back in 1986 and put in storage. Started restoration 1 year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian neder Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I am doing a concours frame off correct restoration on the 70 monte carlo. As far as i know the headlight trim lower cast chrome was a early thing. Ill have to look at the headlight extensions that were on the car. There is a difference with the hole size for the 2 lower screws. Cast chrome bezels had a large screw hole. 70 montes that didnt get the lower chrome had small holes for the screws to go thru. I have both kinds here. some nos some used. Ill see if the car i am restoring has the non cast chrome headlight extensions. Hope this helps. It would be nice to hear some comments on this. I am new to this group. I started driving restoring 70 montes in 1980 till about 1995. Started back on them last year. I have a ton of parts as i never threw anything out.
