She was like today's high school musical actress, right?

[TheFIRSTFatJohn]

Didi Conn was so cute! And, so was the Monza back then, too. (O:

[sjmst]

No, long gone!

[sjmst]

I owned a 79 Monza I bought new. Great design..lousy build quality, but I still loved it

[jakesaintsrow123]

@sjmst still have it? haha...remember the 79 Plymouth horizon? I Got one

[jhdennis1]

Didi Conn! Awesome car and commercial. Thanks for posting!

@Galaxiebaker "If Microsoft built cars, they'd crash twice a day."

- I forget who said this

[landyachtfan79]

@carloscabrera08 Oh, so THAT'S why Microsoft products are such shit......they were designed in conjunction with General Mistakes!!!!!

[zaidrim]

I bought a brand new 1980 Monza like this one with, but the 3.8 V6 and automatic. The color was perfect. Yellow for lemon. The cousin to the Vega. Guaranteed to self destruct after driving out of the showroom. What a piece of junk. After 3 years of break downs and repair bills I finally dumped it for a new first generation Sentra. Fast forward to the GM bailout. The Corvair, and then the Chevette were Chevy's better small cars.

[buffaloborn71]

Those cars had SERIOUS balls !

[Doobie1975]

Nice car, I always thought this was a much better car than the Citation, I don't understand why the Monza never sold in large numbers like the Citation did

[jakesaintsrow123]

@Doobie1975 Because for One the Citation was FWD And offered more Room..Was more versatile..and they advertised the SHIT Outta the citation on TV When it first came out, In 1980 over 800,000 Citations were sold..Yes 800,000 you Heard me correct!

[Oldbmwr100rs]

@jakesaintsrow123 God, citations were pieces of crap,they're one of the worst cars to work on! The later TBI 4 bangers had the intake manifold made on top of the distributor,and the tall Cap and rotor,so You almost had to either break it off or take off the intake manifold to change them! the transmissions were crap,GM was eating those on warranty for years! I'm not even going to go into the handling and braking issues they were famous for.

[1impalaman]

This was a good car. Buddy of mine had one with the 2.5L Iron Duke and a 4 speed. (4th was over drive) Got great mileage and was very responsive and sporty.

[250GTLUSSO]

considering all the JUNK came out of detroil back then this car looked ok

[metroperson]

I owned a 80 Monza...the hatchback in that same silver color with the burgundy interior....only thing is I wished I had the standard instead of the automatic....

[mgrella63]

she was in Grease as frenchie Didi Kahn (spelling?)

[raulpinzon]

Y KE TAL ESTE?? PERRON!!!!

[Annihilator1111]

the 1975-1980 Chevrolet Monza was assembled in

Lordstown, Ohio, United States

Ramos Arizpe, Mexico

Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada

[alloutoftime]

The Chevt Monza/Pontiac sunbird, :sunterd" were among the worst cars of that era. Real sardine cans.

[zaidrim]

@alloutoftime A Sunturd. I like that. That is exactly what they were.

[tamspeci]

So it's "easy on gas" They're still trying to make cars easy on gas 31 years later! Same old expensive energy problems decade after decade!

[Srd1126]

@tamspeci DRILL, BABY, DRILL!

[foxdev321]

The car looks nice there it was nice new I'm sure but did it last long?

[Doobie1975]

These cars wouldn't be so bad to own when installed with a powerful V8, I thought the Monza's were much better looking than the Mustang II's although it did look dated for 1980.

[vans1107]

shining time station actress??

[dwilmer7]

Im waiting for this lady to have an orgasm.

[auaiao9]

@dwilmer7 I remember her back when and she always acted like that in every situation.

[davshaw5]

The 80s - a sad decade in American car history.

[gojoe283]

This car was nothing like the original Monza...the Corvair Monza

[baracuda5555]

I had one too. The plastic interior was so cheap it disintegrated in the sun. No wonder the perception of GM quality was effected for years to come.

Thankfully GM and other American car companies are finally now building better quality vehicles.

[sitonfeet]

my ex car 1980 chevy MONZA coupe out white and inside tan really very nice! v8 305 real fast i love it i make very sad ,i miss car oh well..i never forger talk about that

[wileycoyote64]

She is cute

[TheLizardKing1967]

This ding bat would fall for anything. LOL

[BigE003S]

My first rental car. Loved it and hated it at the same time. I was 15 so i didn't know any better.

[markmarshall39]

22 and 35 mpg, nothing has changed!

[pbsoko]

It was my 1st car; felt like it was falling apart because it was! In a few months the Chicago winter rusted it so bad the entire drivers floor fell off, the doors had holes in them big enough to put your foot through. Road salt is bad, but this was a joke! Engine burned as much oil as it did gas, engine mounts fell off so entire engine jumped around. Bought for $500 back in 92', sold for $300 as junk! Oh, and lets not forget, it had ONE speaker in the center of the dashboard on top. p.o.s.

[1conadak]

I had that EXACT piece of shit as the commercial; the color, the original hubs, everything. Bought it for $600.00 in 1990 from some old lady. It ran for about six months. It was actually quick, good on gas, but felt like it was falling apart about a week after I bought it. I sure thought I was stepping up, because my last vehicle was a ten-speed bike.

[boofdfast]

Those cars are uncomfortable and heavy, for a small car... I had a 75 Monza town coupe. I had a chance to buy an 80 or 81 Monza coupe, back in 88, 4 spd for only $100, that ran great. I shoulda bought it. lol

[TheLizardKing1967]

Pontiac had the Sunbird. These cars were lemons. Bad transmissions and the gears were very notchy.

[wnychevy09]

The person in this commercial was Didi Conn- who played Frenchie in the movie Grease

[Goldenoldies4ever]

Yeah, thats Di Di Conn

OMG! Talk about a forgetten car! wow

Haven't thought about the Monza in years. They replaced the Vega in like 77-78 and was a better car! Also made a hatchback

[whatmarc]

Ya don't need to getta Farrr-en car to get great milage!

[landyachtfan79]

@whatmarc But you DO need it to get a car thst starts every morning & will not be in the shop every week!!!!!!!

[Prizm2356]

omg is that the girl from Grease

[joh2]

Yep, and Shining Time Station...

As for the car, it looks as if Chevrolet took styling influences at the front straight from their Camaro of the time...
