Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo
Vehicle Model

A car produced by Chevrolet from 1970 to 1988 (rear-wheel drive) and again from 1995-2007 (front wheel drive).

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo was the car of NASCAR Winston Cup, Nextel Cup, and Sprint Cup driver's champions Richard Petty (1979), Dale Earnhardt (1980, 1986, 1987), Terry Labonte (1984, 1996), Darrell Waltrip (1985), Jeff Gordon (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001), Tony Stewart (2005), and Jimmie Johnson (2006 and part of the 2007 season).  It continued as Chevrolet's representative in NASCAR Sprint Cup until it was replaced by the Impala, the switch being made with the Car of Tomorrow being an Impala and as the old cars were phased out and replaced by vehicles featuring artificial intelligence software for better safety, so was the Monte Carlo.
