Here is a pic of My 68 Monaco 500 Convertible the last time it was on the road 1993.
At the time I had my 90 year old Grandmother aboard.

well, thats not where the 383 emblem goes is it?


Had the been repainted by the time that photo was taken...?

I was thinking about windows up and top down issue; but you're right about the emblem I'd say.

I know. ... I see everyone on the board now notices it before I do

 

[Vertigo]

I don't know.
That is where the emblem was when I purchased it, where should it be?
You are right, it was repainted.
It now sits in pieces in my garage, hopefully it will see the light of day again next year. My daughter graduates in 2015 and wants to drive it at Grad.

I know some things are wrong and I will fix them.
Radio antenna is on rear quarter, original mirrors have been replaced with cheap plastic mirrors.
What are the locations of emblems that I should be aware of?

Thats a 67 .....

 

[cm23uoc]

I had the 67 models also in mind; it seems the place is right after all for the 68, found a couple more in the net with this location right behind the side marker light.

 

[polara71]

I looked and couldnt locate any, what I was seeing was the 500 emblems . You know Reds car didnt have them at all.

Where is Fred....?

 

[Vertigo]

68 Monaco 500 convertibles were only produced in Canada. Does anyone know how many were produced?
