My Dad bought a brand new 4 door Monaco Brougham that was loaded. I loved the wheels, hideaway headlights and especially the rim blow steering wheel. You rarely ever see these cars anymore, but boy were they sharp!

My 1st car I bought was a 73, this is not the one I had in high school, but like it. I bought this one about 15 years ago

As a 7 yo kid, I remember the when the 1973 cars came out being so disappointed in the look of them. The federally mandated front bumpers ruined most cars. Mopars faired a little better but… yuck!

Fords were the worst. I would kneel or stand on the front porch working on their engine compartments. Some cars, as the beauty in this thread, fared very well.

I like my ‘73. Finishing the refresh on it is next after I wrap up the work on the Satellite.

A car you could drive coast-to-coast, and only need one car-length to do so.

For me it was the 73 A bodies. Kim

I see multiple votes for a 1973 Monaco, I'd also take one of those in a 2-door...but I'd go for a 1973 Gremlin X first:

I just purchased some original artwork with a black G/A and a Warthog A130 blasting over it, from a guy in the UK. It hasn't arrived yet, and the ad is down because it was 1 of 1 piece of artwork. When it arrives, I'll post a pic.

I hate to say it but the most impressive 1973 would just have to be the SD T/A, great looks, great handling for the time and HP that was just as usable as a 66-71 Street Hemi really. 73 still had the cooler small rear window too.
