70 Hood • The hood on the Monte Carlo Hardtop was re-shaped to fit the modified contours of the front end of the car – that is the shortened, lowered front grille. • The hood on the Monte Carlo convertible is stock with no modifications. Front End Chrome The Monte Carlo Convertible has custom chrome pieces at the front side of the car as follows: • The topmost chrome trim over the turn-signal light terminates on stock models at the wheel-well opening. On the Monte Carlo convertible, the front wheel wells have been dropped down about four inches, allowing a unifying chrome trim piece to start at the front grille and terminate at the newly added 1949 Packard taillight. • The center chrome trim below the turn signal terminates on stock models at the wheel opening. On the Monte Carlo convertible, this piece now terminates in a short, custom-chromed brass piece just aft of each turn signal. • The bottom chrome trim shows no sign of modification. It appears to terminate on the Monte Carlo convertible in the same location as the stock Packard models.
