Can someone tell me which of these bumpers from a 75 Royal Monaco are the front and which are the rear? They each are extremely heavy (demo-derby heavy?) and very similar....

I looked and could not find a right-hand mirror for a 75 Royal Monaco. I wonder if they are the same as the Chrysler mirrors for those years? Someone must have one.

Rear bumpers don't have grill inserts.

The front end of my monaco is from a royal. I'm wondering if this is the correct info plate (picture attached) for my car. Also what is the long strip of metal with the punches about? Post 8 is my broadcast sheetm

A way to indicate that something was inspected.
Somebody did their job, inspected something then punched the strip. Most of the time , the strips are not there. They've been cut off or fallen off over time. You can see another one in the background of this tag.
As a matter of fact, yes!
The body paint and roof paint codes on the fender tag are KB5, which translates as Lucerne Blue Metallic. In the pics your car has quite a different color. The codes on the fender tag match those on the broadcast sheet, as far as I can tell. A small part of the broadcast sheet is damaged.
The SPD I read off your broadcast sheet should be corrected to B15, so the car was not on an extremely early schedule. Sorry!
Could you please, please post a pic of the door sticker?

Thanks for all the great information! The front and fenders of the car are from a later royal monaco, which was white. From your decoding of the plate under the hood, it sounds like the plate and radiator support is correct for my 74, the rest of which was indeed blue. After completing bodywork, I repainted the entire car GM Dark Garnet Red metallic. The color gets compliments everywhere I go (maybe because they don't know what else to think of my land yacht )

Very good! As the start of MDH I read 1121, but I can only guess about the last two digits. Can you read them?
So the car has a rather uneventful assembly history: scheduled for November 15, built on November 21.

I keep being amazed by the low amount of options on this car. I could only find:
E63 400 cid Engine
R11 AM radio
U36 White Sidewall Tyres
V5X Molding Body Side w/Vinyl Insert, Black
W11 Deluxe Wheel Covers
No dealer would have wanted something like that in his inventory. Even rental cars were better equipped. Now this car went into the Corporate Lease Car System. Were such cars tailored to an employee's specific requests?

This made my morning! My friend and I are still laughing, because he has always wondered why myself or anyone would choose a land yacht like this. I must be a simple man... my only complaint is the lack of power windows, as I have to reach over into an adjacent postal code to open them.

Couldn't have been my father. He never would have opted for the Deluxe Wheel Covers.

Are the wheel covers shown in my photo (post 12) correct for my car? I wouldn't want to lose points in judging.
