abe72 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hello all, During this past weekend I attended a car show benefiting cancer patients. The reason I'm posting this on the lowrider forum is that, although I don't consider my Monte a lowrider, the trophy was warded to to me for best lowrider!Go figure, I was ecstatic that the Monty was recognized and much more when it won.There were 4 other 1st gens there, one right next to me(it was an actual lowrider). I did install skirts on Friday, maybe that changed the look. here are a few pics, what do you think better with or without... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Congrats on the award, take what you can get yours is a very nice Monte no matter how you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Congratulations, Abe! That's fantastic! I love the skirts on your Monte, especially with the white sidewall tires. Makes it look sleek and low - almost like a lowrider! I thought there was supposed to be a clearance issue when using skirts with rally wheels and derby caps but it seems to work fine on your car. I just got a set of skirts for my '70 SS last week - need to have them painted Autumn Gold. Also picked up a set of stock 7" rims and a set of original Monte wheel covers. Now I just need to mount some thin white wall tires close to stock size and I'll be able to change the look and personality of my SS Monte at will. Unfortunately, I don't recall seeing a "Lowrider" class at the car shows in this region of Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Congrats! The skirts do change the whole look of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Congrats! Nice looking car. Not what I'd classify as a lowrider. Maybe your's was nicer than the lowriders at the show and yours was close enough to the lowrider style for the award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe72 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks guys. Yeah not sure how they judged it, but hey I'll take it. The strange part is that "judges" came back twice to view it - who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The car looks great Abe, not sure if I'd call it a low rider, but the skirts do change the whole look, and you have a trophy to prove it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 First lowrider I've ever seen with rally wheels.... Congrats, nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
