Interesting. Are you sure it's a Monaco? The Standard Catalog of American Cars shows NO Monaco convertibles, although ragtops were made as Coronets, Coronet 500's and Polaras. The Monaco was a specialty hardtop coupe that was made to compete directly with Pontiac's Grand Prix.

Like we have said, Canadian and American Monacos were different. The US Monaco and Polara in '66 shared the same body - and Polara converts were available in the USA. Monaco Converts were available in Canada.

Hello Marshall

Pretty sure! Owned it since 1966(new) I wish i had a digial pic for you. I have a bunch of photographs here in front of me.

You probably will not find it in that catalog because it is a Canadian version of the car. He ordered it with the 383CI engine, it was an option, the 318 being standard.

Thanks

Glen
