Well of course that worked, I will caption the above photos once the urge to pitch this computer into the drywall subsides.
First pic. is my baby 71 Polara base, Dark gold metallic, Deluxe black all vinyl int., original paint, roof interior, windshield. I have no reason to believe the side mouldings aren't original. Research has me believe base Polaras came with the wide polished moulding. While customs and broughams had the thinner moulding with the rubber insert ? A Canada thing ? I wish I could show you the fender tag, that and the antennae sadly did not come with the carI knew that had to be the 71' . Ive seen photos of it and had fallen in love with it about four years ago I guess. Thats one I want on the Polara ranch.
Glad you are here to answer, what is with the body side moldings? Those are not original..... I'd like to see the fender tag on her.... pm me if youd like
Sorry for the late reply, it got cold which means I get busy, and I believe the second owner, the original owners brother and owner of a 69 New yorker removed it for sentimental reasons ? He owned the car for around twenty years then gave it to the Original owners son who had it for a few years hoping his son would take interest in it but failed to. Can you believe that! I even met him while I was inspecting the car and had to confirm this story, it was true! He wasn't interested at all! Family history included! Incredible! So I bought it and yeah it's too bad it's lacking it's tag, however the rest of the car speaks for itself and yes there are broadcast sheets will post pics. once I get at them and some close ups of the trim.My first 71 Polara was a base Polara, 318 no air ,vinyl and cloth , am radio. Normal side trim with insert. Yours is the only one I have seen with these moldings.
What happened to the fender tag on an original car?
I just discovered this thread. Beautiful car!
I bought a cousin of your car last week — a ‘71 Monaco. Its original color is GY9, like your Polara, but the interior is white (buckets) and the vinyl top is white. My car was repainted burgundy by the previous owner, unfortunately.
Mine still has its tag, and I will be looking for a broadcast sheet when work let’s up a bit. Would you kindly post the sheet of yours (or, if you already have posted it, please point me to the right thread)?
Wow, you dug up a really old thread. White bucket Monaco? Sweet! I'm going to assume that's the tail stripe car recently discussed? White top too? That's an interesting combination. That poor car has been tucked away since before that post. I'll be sure to post a pic of the sheet once I get to it, it's tucked safely in the back seat springs.
Thanks for responding! Yep, mine is indeed the white-striped one. White buckets, white vinyl top too!
Edit(2-21): is the driver-side mirror original on your car? It looks a lot like that on mine, which I have been told is not.
I just went through the for sale ad featuring your car. You can see in the photo with the original paint it has the correct mirror. Your current ones are the right shape, (rectangular) just not factory correct.
And the dark gold with white roof is an odd choice in my opinion. White or black interiors go with anything, the white top with dark gold paint just seems odd. Mine has brown? vinyl, that practically matches the paint. I've always thought it would look better with black vinyl. Is your tail stripe vinyl?
Guess what I found on Flickr? Yes, it is Sinamin at the 2012 Crosstown Motors show in Edmonton. @3C's & a D? -- is your GY9 Polara gonna be back on the road for her 50th birthday? We could have a reunion with Medina at MoparFest or Carlisle, and I might even get Medina painted back to her original Dark Gold shade if I knew that you'd be there with Sinamin.
