What year was the first Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS released?
I have a bet going with my friend. She thinks that the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS was released in the 90s, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a few Monte Carlos from the 60s. In what year did Chevrolet release the first Monte Carlo SS?

It can be hard to gauge the age of classic cars because so many of them are aesthetically inspired by each other. But the first
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
was released in the fall of 1969 as a 1970 model.The 1970 Monte Carlo SS was just about as cool as
classic cars
get. Its long hood tapers down into a sharp point at the very front of the bumper, and the shortened trunk gives the whole body its iconic low-rider feel.With about 360 horsepower, the Monte Carlo SS was one of the most powerful cars on the market at the time of its release. Of course, competitors like Buick, Mustang, and Corvette were also releasing quality cars at the time, like the C3 Corvette, that have left a long-lasting impression on the car market.
Unfortunately, the Monte Carlo SS has a relatively low reliability rating, high mileage, and outrageous maintenance costs that make it somewhat impractical to own. But if you’re set on buying a Monte Carlo for yourself, offset the price by saving on
