I bought a brand new 1978 Monte Carlo which looked in many ways like a Cadillac from that exact time. Front grille, some of the trunk elements when viewed across the rear quarter panels. Loved the styling then... can’t stand it now. Overall it was a very reliable car with the 305 engine. Would have preferred a 350. 73-77 was a larger body car and I didn’t like their styling either. The first gen was and still is in my opinion the nicest. They also did not look like Cadillacs. I also liked the one year design rear 78 taillights.
