What Happened to the Dodge Monaco
The Dodge Monaco underwent several changes and developments throughout its production history. Here’s a summary of its evolution:
1977 Model Year Changes:
The 1977 model year brought significant changes to the Dodge Monaco lineup due to the lingering impact of the 1973-1974 energy crisis. As a result, Chrysler decided to move the Dodge Monaco, in name form only, from the full-size C platform-body to the mid-size B platform-body lineup for the 1977 model year. The entire 1977 Dodge Monaco lineup received a makeover. The previous model year’s full-size C-body Dodge Monaco (from 1976) became, just for one year only, the full-size C-body 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco until its discontinuation from all production during the end of the 1977 model year. The mid-size B-body 1977 Dodge Monaco two-door coupe, four-door wagon, and four-door sedan replaced the previous model year’s Coronet hardtop coupe, four-door wagon, and four-door sedan. These cars were “corporate twins” to the new-for-1975 “downsized” Plymouth Fury.
Evolution Over the Years:
The Dodge Monaco was originally intended to compete with the Pontiac Grand Prix in the personal luxury market. Introduced in 1964, the 1965 Monaco was based on the Custom 880 two-door hardtop coupe body. The Monaco received special badging, different taillights and grille treatment, and a sportier interior with a full-length center console, as well as a 383 cu in (6.28 L) 315 hp (235 kW) V8 engine as standard equipment. In Canada, the Monaco name was finally applied for ’67 to all of the premium full-sized Dodge products, replacing the Polara 880 at the top of the Dodge line. Taking the Monaco’s place as a premium full-size model was the Monaco 500, which was available only as a two-door hardtop and convertible.
Discontinuation:
The Dodge Monaco’s production came to an end during the 1990s. Chrysler may not have been planning to bring back the Dodge Monaco nameplate at all in the 1990s, ahead of the launch of its cab-forward-look sedans like the Intrepid, but its hand was forced in a way. The Dodge Monaco that went on sale for the 1990 model year was actually a result of this situation. However, the newest iteration of the Monaco came to an end when the new Intrepid sedan replaced it in 1993.
In summary, the Dodge Monaco underwent significant changes over the years, including a shift in platform-body lineup, changes in model names, and ultimately, its discontinuation in the 1990s.
