149pce USTwo different Monte Carlos are shown. Main pic shows later (86-88) style mirrors. First three thumbnails show early style (83-85) mirrors. All pics show later (86-88) wheels that were first used on late 2nd gen Camaros.

AnimatronixX DEI don't think this is an actual convertible. I believe that's a "faux cabriolet" with a closed metal roof covered in canvas, just to give the impression of a convertible - but it can't be opened without a can opener. Various Cadillac dealers offered these fancy-looking conversions and the more expensive ones even featured a wavy metal roof. We had a couple of these for sale back in the day and it's the pinnacle of humbug - which is probably why I like these. :D 2019-02-21 20:54

supcoach USSince I said Monza in the first place...... 2015-03-19 23:35
dsl SXWhy not just go for Monza as the most probable, and therefore a plausible [H (RWD)] default?? Noted that there's nothing visible on front wing, which seems to exclude the Olds based on all the presented brochure pics. Also does not look like any side trim or coachlines, so Olds and Buick don't look very likely.

This can only get definitively solved with better pics - which may be impossible. But can anyone find anything against the Chevy??

Baube QCdifferences seems to be the badge's location from the side view but that one don't have any... :( 2015-03-14 00:51
eLMeR MHMy first thought was to narrow at least to Chevrolet or Buick, due to the lack of trim. But the Oldsmobile Starfire basic model was "naked" too...
Unless someone see an irrefutable clue for a specific model, isn't there a common GM name, for this car?

eLMeR MH@ Donovan Savage: you apparently like short answers. "Yes", "no", "close"... Maybe you should develop a bit with some external sources. At least when you disagree with a former identification or idea...

Here are all 3. All are the same. Some of the later Olds and Monzas used different taillights, but the Buick used this one:

m.k. wrote right, I stop but it was not mid 70ies, it is mid 80ies.

The car above on the pic? No way. It is a German built US-version from 1974-1976, most likely a "Super Beetle" (1303 outside USA). Definitely that and nothing else.

night cub wrote 1979 was the last model year for the Convertible (though they still could be found in 1980, as 1979 models).

All Convertibles from 1973 to the end in 1980 are based on the 1303/Super Beetle and all Convertibles were always made by Karmann in Osnabrück, never ever by Volkswagen itself.

night cub USYou're just proving the point that the cars were built in Germany, not Brazil. Just the bodies. So I'm not sure why you are carrying on and on and on and on...

ingo wrote Right now I don't know, when the import to the USA was stopped, but it was definitely years before the export to Europe, especially Germany ended in 1985 (maybe even before the German Käfer-production ended in January 1978)

The last German made Volkswagen Sedan 'Beetle' exported to USA was made for 1977 model year before they dropped completely. However, the Convertible continues to be made until 1979 model year.

I don't know what M.K. is coming up with those Brazilian information. Whoever this member should look at those Brazilian made cars posted elsewhere :)

night cub US1979 was the last model year for the Convertible (though they still could be found in 1980, as 1979 models). All Typ 1 Beetles sold in the US were German made.

What the Wikipedia article states is that the Mexican-made Beetle was on the gray-market import list, meaning the VW never imported them. Either the individual owner or a third party was bringing them into the US under some loophole in the late 1980s trade laws (the same way Citroen CXs were imported and sold here). Car & Driver did an article back in the day about these Beetles. From what I understand, they have since closed the loophole with the laws requiring the cars to meet emission and safety standards for the model year up to 25 years.
2013-12-28 00:27
ingo DE:think: Was the 1975 Super Beetle the last Typ1, officially sold in the USA? Was there an US-version of the 1200 (until Jan 1978 made in Germany, later on in Mexico)? 2013-12-27 23:12

m.k. wrote Anyway, it is all well described year by year in Wikipedia.

No. Wikipedia is not exact enough. With specific details sometimes even the hardcore-VW-freaks, as dealers for parts for classic VWs, sometimes are stumped. But such knowledge is important, for example, when you check boxes with NOS-spare parts or wrecks on junkyards.

It had. It was the 50hp-engine of the top-line 1303. But named "1303 S" then, not "1600".
