    The "original" illustrations for the Dodge Monaco are in the US Dodge Monaco brochure, including the DH43 hardtop roof line on the DH41 sedan. That Monaco 500 series, by the way, was DP and not DH. "In the inset shot of the rear end of the Monaco 500, it indicates a non-pinstripe car with...

    The dropping of the "u" (colour to color, moulding to molding), rearranging "re" (centre to center, metre to meter) dates back to the 18th century and had a strong influence by Daniel Webster and his dictionary. One story making the rounds has a publisher of one of the Chicago papers who...

    Those "500" tags are small and the stickemon style doesn't always stay stuck on. I own a 1988 Plymouth Caravelle Salon (Gran Fury in the US) and although the "Caravelle" sticker is still there on the right rear of the car, the "Plymouth" on the left is long gone. Now, if car still has the...

    The name "Monaco" is on the lower side trim ahead of the rear wheel. Same spot as on the Canadian Monaco 500 models. You really have to look close. The black car is a US Monaco 500, and thus the name Brougham would not appear on the car. In the US the 500 was a bucket seat package...
