Cela ne l'a pas empêcher de faire un tonneau en 1976 et de finir dans un cours d'eau
Philippe,
Thank you for writing!
We are so happy the big banana found a good home!
Dad bought the car around 1976 as a wreck. The previous owner had run off the road, rolled it once and then nosed it into a creek.
The water didn't get above the radiator so it was only metal damage.
The front bumper was bent, a few dents in the side and the roof was pushed down (of course the windshield was broken).
Dad repaired it all and we used it as the family car for many years, including a trip to Florida in which the rear air conditioning was a life saver!
Dad was slowly restoring it to its former glory when he came down with cancer and then passed away.
I wanted to keep it and restore it but I don't have the space.
I already have a daily driver, my wife's car and a 1949 Dodge pickup. I also inherited the 1930 Ford Model A coupe that Dad restored.
With all those and not having the time to devote to restoration, we decided to sell the car to someone who would restore it.
Steve bought the car in 2014 and began restoration. He sold it in 2020 (I think) -non, c'était en septembre 2015 -to Matthew who finished the restoration but then fell on hard times and had to sell - to you!
So a 1973 Dodge Monaco station wagon that started off life in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia went to California for a second life and now is back in the mountains (Pyrenees)!
I have more stories to share (and pictures) but work for today calls.
Thank you again for contacting!
I will be in touch!!

On April 9, 1971, the agency issued its first passenger car bumper standard — Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 215, “Exterior Protection,” which became effective on September 1, 1972. This standard called for passenger cars, beginning with model year 1973, to withstand 5 mph front and 2 ½ mph rear impacts against a perpendicular barrier without damage to certain safety-related components such as headlamps and fuel systems.
