Only ment to bake under the desert sun once?

 

[mr. fix it]

I wonder what it would look like if it had than a few bumps n' bruises???????

 

[70NPORT]

It's done baking, just add icing now.

 

[mdh157]

excellent question though, one of us should be able to find out what it means.

 

[detmatt]

Doug needs to see this. I'm interested to know as well.

check the post from user "golden arm"

 

[commando1]

I saw that.
He gave a definition of "monobake" which I already knew.
There's no explanation why that particular car had "monobake" on the tag when others didn't.

Maybe with a little work (and some good cash) like this: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/...ind-of-the-day-1970-plymouth-fury-gran-coupe/

Cause the guy that attached that tag was out sick on the days the others rolled out.

Were all the cars actually baked after paint or just sent through some lights to force the paint dry?

Monobake could be an extra step to flow the paint out better... or maybe to flow out a car that failed inspection because of orange peel.

Just guessing.

At least it's already sand blasted

I think Mono bake is a controled oven heating process used to apply a thin film over a painted surface. Kind of like a woodgrain, (or any design). I'm not sure how it applies to this car. Perhaps there were special graphics on the hood or body .....?

 

[69monaco]

It,s on a Y16 code car ?............... something like monobake ( whatever it means ) you would expect on a Y14 car ......!?

I was kicking that around in my head last night, trying to figure it out.......

the car with the tag is a very late car (SPD is 14th july 1970).
Maybe the FT3 cars were not Monobaked early in the production year and the change came later on.
If so all cars in that certain colour would probably get it even though this was just a sales bank
