The 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo belongs to the third-gen Monte Carlo nameplate born in 1970, two years after Basic Motors standardized a split-wheelbase coverage for its A-platform intermediate-sized automobiles. The brand new coverage meant that the marque’s two-door fashions featured a 112-inch (2,845 mm) wheelbase, 116 inches (2,946 mm) for sedans, and 121 inches (3,073 mm) for station wagons.
