1980 Chevy Monza Consumer Presentation - GM123A

One more to round-out the 1980 Chevy passenger cars...the 1980 Monzas. Interesting offerings including coupe, hatchback and Spyder package. "Elegance in a sub-compact, with a dressy town car appearance.".....sure.
Sales-training slides are included at the end of the video.

Wow I didn't realize they still offered the quad rectangular headlamp front end style in 1980.

Wow, @2:45 it appears the turn signal relay is already faulty with that somewhat fast, uneven blinking.

You know absolutely nothing about vintage cars. Nearly every car made back then used a thermal flasher which worked off heat and didn't use any relays and the quick flashing was the norm. I bet your just as much of a real doctor as the first lady.

[@DrCharlesMontague]

@@jsciarri and you’re really Archie Bunker 🙄. The cars I’ve had from that era did use relays, but no I suppose I know absolutely nothing about them, even though I ran an import garage for many years and we worked on lots of old junk. I guess the prehistoric stuff GM was still making in 1980 was different, so I stand corrected on *that* 😝.

[@new2000car]

@@DrCharlesMontagueyou were right the first time. The car’s front and rear signal were both in unison, controlled by a turn signal relay, the small cylinder shaped device located on the fuse box. Thermal/controlled by heat was something that was occurring inside the unit; the bi-metallic strip heated and cooled, cycling the current on and off. I know you know this but the other guy is way off, I’m explaining how off he is. The relay was controlled by the driver’s use of the turn signal lever (or electricity), heat doesn’t control the relay. Heat occurs, but as a result of the driver’s control.

Interesting to see the Spyder option was still available. Surprising the wagon was gone, but not really since it had the same cargo volume as the Citation hatchbacks which had much more rear-seat passenger room.

Thanks for posting this I still have a red 1978 spyder, factory V8 and 4 spd.

If you look at the four headlights, first look at the front of the Camaro in 82.

[@markbehr88]

Love it. I have a 1978 Monza Spyder.

[@MindsEyeVisualGuitarMethods]

Me too!

[@antd8259]

Never seen one of these on the road

[@jethro1260]

My friends mother had a couple of these back in the day, at different times and years, I want to say that she also had one of the Oldsmobile spinoffs, I think the sunfire or sunbird but looked just like this with different rearend and frontend.

[@toronado455]

Those are horrible service recommendations. Unless of course they wanted you to wear everything out.😊

0:14 to 1:04 love this song and music.

[@mishko01]

Nostalgic and fun to watch memories of an utterly forgettable automobile.

[@toronado455]

The 2.5 L Iron Duke drove more like a cast iron dog. No offense to canines. 🐕😊

5:10 the women's car has 2 white sport mirrors on each door , but at 5:36 she has a chrome mirror on the driver side door and there is no mirror on the passenger side door when you got the chrome mirror.

[@Drchainsaw77]

It's a woman driver, she probably smacked one of them and it had to go in for a quick patch-up during filming

[@craigjensen6853]

1:03 = wrong signal = idiot driver = filmed in Detroit
