If you look at the history of the Monte Carlo, all the way back to 1970, its signature style included unique "fender bulges" of one sort or another, and usually vertical tail lights. This version was a retro throwback to that, after the car had been off the market for a number of years.
I thought the vertical taillights looked familiar! I like this design.
He was not aware of the history apparently
This was also when NASCAR was still largely based off production vehicles, so some of the design was that way because it was beneficial on the track.
He doesn't understand the design language very well, should have done a throwback version with even more bulge.
Thank you I was about to say this
I like the way how you interpreted the rear lamp. Rim change made huge difference in overall!
the rim change made it uglier than the stock rims in my opinion but whatever
\
@@Kosoku63 Well your opinion is wrong but that’s okay
Huge Monte Carlo Fan, I’ve owned two myself and I’m really glad to see you making a video about one of my favorite underrated cars.
Man i feel this, i own a 2002 SS and a 2001 Ls and i love them both
I loved the way you dealt with the tail lamps. Hats off to you ,sir
oh my first memories of watching NASCAR just came back
That car was literally a road legal stock car but much slower.
@@Mich_-mu7fz but was it fwd or rwd ?
@@trollz6940 fwd
Monte Carlo's have carried over the design language of previous models. The lines over the wheel wells are a tribute to that design language.
*You can trace those odd shapes back to older Monte Carlo models, you should investigate shapes deeper and see where they began and when they went wrong! That way you can incorporate the original ideas back into your new concepts more accurate.*
The Monte Carlo is one of my favorite cars. All generations are great to me.
I've been trying to look for a good one at reasonable price. My Impala has been with me since high school, but I've always had an eye for the Monte Carlo even more.
I love the term "melted cheese design" it makes me think of the late 90s Taurus with its sloped front and rear. I always thought it looked like someone took a plastic model of a car and heated it up much
The older grand prixs had a melted look too it as well.
I personally like 90's car design. I think the 90's Camaro, 90's Ferraris, the second gen Viper and a few other models look better than their modern counterparts.
Lamborghini Bravo (1974) next???
Jakob Holgersson the viper pulls it off well because it’s a timeless design. Add LEDs and modern wheels and the original viper is a production car. After all, the tech didn’t change since the first version lol.
Also older audis
I get wanting to keep the basic design cues, but this doesn’t really go far enough for a 20 yo design
Please redesign the VW ID Buzz. The ID Buzz should remind of the VW T1 but I think it should look more like the T1.
All the VW ID cars are straight up ugly. Except the IDR
I would like to see the front of this please
As long as we dont get malibu again🤣
PLEASE do the front… but to the 2007 version
Watched tons of your remakes and honestly this may be one of the best you've done. That rear reminds me a lot of the earlier versions of Cadillac's Art & Science designs.
I had one of these cars. A 2000 SS. I loved the design and highway comfort. The reliability was terrible. The worst part was the transmission was too weak for the base model and they kept it for the SS. The huge trunk, hood, and doors were my favorite part. It reminded me of when parts of cars were designed for styling rather than practicality. Too many cars follow the same egg look today. You can't even tell makers apart anymore.
Your redesign of the rear end of this car is spectacular, not only is it modernized but it is still unmistakably a monte carlo look. If chevy were to bring this car back today I could see them using your idea for the rear. Very good job sir
Quirky??
*Weird Doug demuro noises*
The body creases that you mention early in the video are there because they mimic the original side profile of the 70’s and 80’s Monte Carlo’s
My sister had a black SS Monte Carlo back in the day. I loved that thing lol
I currently own a vergendy red 02 monte Carlo ss atm and I love it 💕💕 makes me really sad that they didnt countine making monte carlos, there such nice cars 💕💕💕
A neighbor in Jersey still has one in black. Good lookin car
This Re-design is just awesome.
My dad owns a 1971 monte carlo and I think it would be cool to see that redesigned
I'm so excited for this one! I have a heavily modified 03 Monte, it was my first car, and I will have it til the day I die.
What have you done to it to modify it?
Those lines on the side date back to the 70s Monte Carlos. It's a been a signature look for every Monte Carlo except the 90s (Lumina) body style.
Was waiting for this comment before I pass that detail too :)
I was kind disappointed with this redesign/modernization
I hoped he taking the all mighty 1984 Montecarlo SS to base his redesign
Alain Prevost truuee
Nice redesign, those tail lights actually reminded me of the 60's Coupe de Ville redesign you made like a year or so ago.
My neighbor has a 2001 Monte Carlo (black, with chrome wheels), I want a black 2021 Monte Carlo sitting in my drive way!
It's cool Chevy Monte Carlo bringing back but, sadly GM banking on SUVs, Trucks, CUVs but, not small cars anymore.
Harry Tran if the monte carlo were to come back i hope it’s a sports car like it was before
Am I your neighbor? ruclips.net/video/T0GaB5Wq_u0/видео.html
Curious what you can do with the Grand Prix from this same era.
When he cleaned up the front headlamp it definitely streets to look like a Grand Prix.
the Impala of that era too
My family had one of these when I was learning to drive
The lines on the fenders have been with the Monte Carlo since the first one in 1970. It's a traditional Monte Carlo style. I have a Dale Earnhardt Monte Carlo SS. And love it!
I had a Hotwheels Monte Carlo when i was a kid :) Dark red with silver bottom parts, i have loved the car since!
you too poor i have a lamborghini aventador as a kid...
hot wheels edition of course :)
By the way the re-design ended up nice, they should indeed still make cars like that.
@@kienphongquach9807 My favorite was a gold Chevy Chevelle with whole metallic body, i regret for losing that, would love to have it on display :) Some of those little cars are expensive nowadays
I had a white one
I have a corvette stingray, a bugatti chiron and a Lamborghini huracan.
Hot wheels of course
Dale Earnhardt drove Chevy Monte Carlos through his life and I'm proud to own my 06 Monte Carlo blue thunder 192,000 MI and she's still like a rock very few dents on her original from factory trust Chevy
Nice modernization - front marker lights remind me a lot of the contemporary Pontiac Grand Prix.
Dude I'm telling you, you are a design genius and I love your work.
The Fender curves were from the Winchester Rifle stock curves. THEIR A MUST!!! Ive owned several models. thx for the uplifted Spirit. Come on Chevy.
Great work... One major criticism: I think you missed that the rear shoulder/fender line element doesn't actually end at the frame of the taillight housing. If you were to continue the line across the lens of the taillight on the original, it actually separates the top and bottom circular lights. In the redesign, I think it was a missed opportunity to exploit this, and separate the top and bottom lights with that seemingly awkward shoulder line.
Love your work though!
When they made the 2000's Monte Carlo they were using cues from the earlier 70s and 80s Monte Carlos to keep the heritage because the Monte Carlo when it was made had a big following of car lovers similar to how the Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds and so on have fans that want to see new styles but also want it to have cues from the older models so that you can look at it and say hey that's a Monte Carlo or Mustang or whatever without having to look for the badging to tell what it is. Also some of these cars came with a supercharged 3.8 V6 with 240HP. I have an 2004 Dale Jr Edition with that engine and for what it is it will move pretty good. Then around 2006 when the updated the design just a bit the SS went from having the SC V6 to actually having a V8 again like the 80s models did.
If they made those 06-07' MC SS with a rear axel you would probably still see them on the road now..Once again gm thanks for blowing a good model.
I really liked the changes you made. The Monte Carlo that era looked to me like they changed a Lumina, which was a 4 door sedan into a 2 door sport model. The rear proportions of the 2001 MC (door back) never looked right. The Monte Carlo always had a 6ft. + long hood (1970-1977) and that was an important characteristic.
Thank you for making monte carlo content for this era, I love my 05.
The 2001 Monte Carlo didn't actually come in yellow. 2002 was when the Competition Yellow was released. Personally, I like the High Sport package/Pace Car edition trim more than the standard SS.
I just skipped ahead and that's AWESOME
2022 Monte Carlo SS.... I need this to happen! Love it the classic way but a new edge Monte with this touch would be Super Sweet 🔥
I really love your designs! I don't know if you did this on purpose or not. The model you did was a revival of the Monte Carol from the 70's. The tail light they used was paying tribute to the 73-77 tail lights. The tail light you put in the redesign, I feel, is much like the tail lights on the original models, 70-72. Just wondered. If it was unplanned, I think it shows how design flows into itself.
That Monte Carlo was my dream car when I was in Middle School
Love the back lights idea.. reminds me of 84 Monte Carlo
The front was the area that needed it! The rear end was cool.
I agree.
Can you realllllly say this invented “melted cheese” design when the ‘96 Taurus exists
Please do a follow-up to this, where you modernize the front of the car. It's gonna be awesome.
This was a retro throw back to the late 1970s and 1980s monte carlos
Exactly
Last time I was this early, musically was a thing
RIP musically
edited because it created link to TikTok eww.
Since this generation of Monte Carlo is based on the NASCAR cars of the time, I think it would have been really cool if you Incorporated some of the design cues from the modern NASCAR cars.
Looks great! However i would’ve raised the shoulder line a little bit and make the side windows smaller, with a side window profile line that tapers upwards towards the rear screen, looks more dynamic that way. Just my 2 cents ✌🏻
Could it be that the stock car is too narrow, making the window seem too big? What if we added depth to the car like this.... ruclips.net/video/T0GaB5Wq_u0/видео.html
Those side lines were a styling cue to the previous Monte Carlo's, especially the 2nd generation.
Great redesign! The only thing I would change is the rear graphics, the lights look amazing but its too empty and flat. Maybe by adding a small graphical detail or making the lights larger (bar?) it might fill that space more. Fantastic work!
Yes yes yes I love this so much! Chevy should hire you to modernize their popular models from 15 years ago loool
This man needs to be hired freelance with all companies. He is too talented to be tied down to working for only one automaker.
I miss my 2001 Monte Carlo SS. I wouldn’t mind owning a 2007 SS, that one at least has the 5.3 V8.
I just did that same upgrade, same years and all, transmission was rebuilt a few years ago with the updated parts so I hope to be good there
Your recent designs are just amazing and a step up, keep this going I'm loving it!
Nice work. My first car was a silver 1986 Monte Carlo SS. It had t-tops, a V8 (only 185 hp) and very loud exhaust. It was also both terrible and fantastic at the same time. If you haven't seen an 80's SS before, look it up for fun sometime to compare to this one.
I loved the way you handled this; makes me think of a Cadillac in the rear. I would love to see you modernize a front fascia for this one!!!
Daaamn! I would buy this tomorrow! My first car was a 95 Monte Carlo and when it died I wanted to get one of this generation but I couldn’t get over the look of the rear of the car. I really disliked it. But they way you redesigned it is amazing! I’m falling in love with the Monte Carlo once again 😝
The rear is the best part, you are nuts.... I can't get over the lack of a manual transmission. One of my goals is to get one someday and convert it to manual and RWD.
to be honest, it still looks like early 2000, especially the front. rims are too big it looks like those 24inch or whatever big size spinner rims verry ugly and overall it still doesn't looks like today.
Another great re-design, I like it much! Very good rim choice, I like low profile tires on modern vehicles.
Really cool custom job! I have a 2001 SS with a jasper motor still very well but the undercarriage and rockers are slowly deteriorate.. I've had it for 19 years now..
That's a very nice redesign. Looks fantastic and rational
The design was supposed to be a modern version of the 80's Monte Carlo. If you want to understand some of the lines look at a 87 Monte Carlo SS
I’m loving these videos. I used to spend my time in IT lessons at school making redesigns on photoshop. They were nothing like this and were probably awful but this is pretty much exactly like what I would do but just on a way more professional scale haha. I’m loving these!
Makes me want to try it again
I would've used the 2021 Tahoe taillights, use the narrow at the top and wider at the bottom idea and rearrange the LEDs and reverse light. It would look legit for sure.
I always liked the appearance of these cars. Wish they would have been rear-wheel drive with a V8 to match their sporty styling. As another poster mentioned, the lines in the side were supposed to remind people of the muscular fender bulges of older Monte Carlos.
I used to have a neighbor who looked like Elvira and had a black Monte Carlo SS with a bumper sticker that said Bitch On Wheels. What a legend.
Thats cool
How long ago?
juan perez maybe 10 years ago?
I like the redesign, but maybe you should've done some retro looks from the 70s like how the dodge challenger today has the retro 70s looks. Either way, great job dude 👏
What a great redesign. Love this so much!
I like the interpretation you did as well, only thing it needs is the proper duck tail spoiler on the decklid like the actual SS Monte Carlos had and it's perfect. Only other think I'd do differently is I'd take some of the other styles of wheels they had back in 2000s and update those too and instead of them being 16" like back then I'd probably go 18 or 19".
Maybe this is what you have in mind? These are 20"s..ruclips.net/video/T0GaB5Wq_u0/видео.html
The late 90s and early to mid 00's had the best designed cars. The round and soft lines speak to me. Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota etc made such classic models 🙌
Had the ugliest cars
I like that centered green house design with a bonnet and rear nearly the same lengths.
Starts at 6:30
Thanks
You’re welcome!
I actually love your redesign! Now do something with that front end!
Where does my license plate go? I don't really want to ruin the bumper. You should have added the license plate divet.
Wow I would buy one and take this sketch and get it remodeled EXACTLY like ur design jus perfect
I want to see you do some Saab stuff! So sad to me that you are from Sweden and haven’t yet. I love the 99-02 9-3 the most and I think that since it’s hatchback design was so ergonomic and functional I would love to see you take it on!
I loved my 1973 Monte Carlo. A very long hood, Swivel bucket seats, small opera windows.
Not a fan of the large spoke rims but pretty good overall. That generation of Monte Carlo had an aggressive stance that showed some muscle car lineage.
That’s really cool. Do the Lincoln Mark VIII next if you want a quirky car from that era. But make it an electric car.
Firstly, I have yet to even finish the video but I love any attention to the ‘00-05 sixth gen MC SS. My sister owned a ‘76, I owned an ‘84 then a ‘03 and still own a ‘04 MCSS today. The history of the MC is a personal luxury car. A new concept back in its original launch. It had trademark design queues, long hood, long back deck, bulging front and rear quarters, large side mirrors. Pls note that when the 2000 redesign launched it was all about winning NASCAR. The sixth gen MC had one of the best Coefficient of drag numbers for a modern car at the time. Several components of the production vehicle made it onto Nascar tracks, like the hood, rear deck, quarters, roof etc. So the design was good for 200mph runs. Thats impressive. The MC was killed by GM making 2007 the final year to pave way for the yet to be released 2010 fifth gen Camaro. GM did not find it profitable to try and have a two door coupe like the MC compete with the Camaro. I know the 200HP is anemic for the sixth gen (without the supercharger) but the MCSS is a beautiful highway cruiser. I still own a low mileage ‘04 SS. Love it!
I think the crease line on the side match the profile of the 1979 Monte Carlo
A pandom widebody kit I think would look sort of cool on this
I have a kit on mine and it totally fixes what was missing.... depth of the car, I think. Check me out...
Cool, love what you did to the rear, absolutely hate the low-pro wheel/tire combo, but otherwise a nice modern reinterpretation😊👍
I like the re-done rear, though kinda missing the unique reverse lights and the license plate slot. But, I'm not a fan of the wheels, it could just be THOSE wheels you chose, but I always liked the 5-star stock wheels that the picture originally had at 5:12. But overall, I guess it looks good, varying on how the front looks, and I hope whenever GM decides to revive the Monte Carlo, like they did with the Blazer, they don't turn the two door coupe into a two door compact car or something stupid like that.
I’m thinking about buying a old Monte Carlo and this vid popped up new fan 🔥 I like the content
Man, my dream garage would be all the ss models chevy made from the cobalt ss to the ssr and the Silverado ss
My 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS closely resembles the Monte Carlo I have the style of the Monte Carlo and feel of a Full size Sedan it has a 3800 V6 and is very maneuverable for such a big car nice design ideas great video 🏁
Try looking at front end as well looking at using the newer gm headlight design type. Overall i like it.
Fun fact about the Monte Carlo and my life is back in 2013ish probably a buddy and I took his dads 2005 Monte Carlo out and well it flipped 5 times into a cornfield out in the country lol. Nobody was hurt just sore the next few days but we called a buddy to come out flip it over and drag it back to his place. No police or Ems came out luckily. Now my father has a 1999 model that is all original down to the tires that has 10,000 original miles on it and wins car shows all the time. So myself and the Monte Carlo have some long history together.
Now that's what I'm talking bout!!! Great redesign bro!!! Loving the tail lights and those trims are fire!!! Any chance you were gonna do the front too?👍🏼🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨
The car was an collaboration between Chevrolet, Dale Earnhardt inc, Richard childress racing and a former crew chief of Dale Earnhardt who started his own race team. That car was all about aerodynamics and downforce. Which I believe to this day holds the record for the most wins. To this day I still love the looks of it. Plus I own the Dale Jr signature series supercharged Monte Carlo SS. that I bought brand new in 04.
YESSSS I’ve been wanting this one
I just bought a red monte carlo ss in red and I like the looks of it and think it is a great car
I've got the feeling, this car originally was designed as a UTE, but later they changed their mind, so just simply put on a rear window and a trunk lid, and they called the day.
I actually own a 2001 chevy monte carlo and with the body is designed specifically for the track cause back than NASCAR based all their cars off production vehicles the Monte Carlo is just easy to portray in NASCAR and I will say that even with the low powered v6 this car is fun to drive easy to handle and you can make it take just about any curve however the power on it sucks definitely upgrading to the 3.8 supercharged motor eventually
I like the redesign of this. That rear looks more like a Cadillac and it works. It has styling more like a true GT car now. I’ve never liked that rear end before you changed it. I think the wheels are a bit big but it did need bigger than what was stock. That line flow you don’t like is a throwback to the early 70’s Montes. The fenders were shaped similarly and were very prominent in the look of that car. But they serve no purpose other than that. Well done sir. All we need is a decent 300hp power plant then GM on the phone.
Oh, I want a copy of the finished car. Please.
I love the Monte Carlo!!! Those video was genius!!
I feel like there isn't enough going on with the rear end, the trunk panel we can see is basically empty
Great work ! I love wath you did with the rear
go look up the '70s and '80s models of the Monte.. you'll see why those lines are there in the body..
