Hi, I have an 83, but it's not an SS. Being that it had a V-6 in it and no Landau top. Would this be a SC? Thanks.

Oh, come on guys ... this is NOT that difficult ... you do NOT need me!


RC ... yes, your 1983 Monte Carlo, non-SS, is a Sport Coupe (SC).


The Custom Luxury (CL) package is an INTERIOR UPGRADE package ONLY ... despite the fact that those with this package received special "CL" badging on the exterior. People mistake that for a model designation ... it is NOT. The CL package, available throughout the fourth generation SC and LS models (1981-1988), included "pillowy" seats (the '87-'88 style being more pillowy than the '81-'86 style) and different door panels, among other things. I'm not sure, however, about the gauge package....

The Landau Coupe can be with or without the CL package.


Models (to my knowledge)
1981-1982 ... Sport Coupe (SC) and Landau Coupe (LC)
1983-1985 ... Sport Coupe (SC) and Super Sport (SS)
1986 ... Sport Coupe (SC), Luxury Sport (LS), Super Sport (SS) and SS Aerocoupe
1987 ... Luxury Sport (LS), Super Sport (SS) and SS Aerocoupe
1988 ... Luxury Sport (LS) and Super Sport (SS)


SC models have "boxy" front ends, "boxy" rear ends, and "edgy" dashboard trimmings, like my '81 MC SC:

LS models have "euro" front ends, "euro" rear ends, and "rounded off" dashboard trimmings, like my '87 MC LS, which features the CL interior package:
