Cedar Rapids COPO ?

Have you tried to find Ed Slager? I can see if some of my nova people up there can find him if you want.

Love those old nut hugger shorts from back in the day

Ed helped us finding an apartment and let us use his garage to gather the original hiperf stuff we bought. But he wasn´t really interested in it, that´s how I remember it.
Ed, Becky and their son Aaron lived on 1819 Washington Ave SE. I´d be glad to get in touch with them again.
That´s their black car in the background. A Monte Carlo Aero coupe ? Don´t remember more than that Ed talked about the rearwindow and Nascar. Was it special ?

[Schonyenko2]

I'll see if I can dig him up. Yes on the monte. The rear window was special. It was more areodynamic for nascar racing.

------Anders,,,Montes did have an aerodynamic rear window, but unfortunatly thats not it. The car in the pic is a 79 or so Caprice.........Bill S

[COPO_Anders]

But the rear window on that car still had to do with Nascar, didn´t it ?

[Unreal]

I saw a Grand Prix version of the Monte aero coupe the other day. Daily driver for someone.

Here's one of the Poncho AeroCoupes that popped up for sale here in Canada a couple days ago.. Being a Canadian documentable car also less common than the Aero-Monte's, it'd be cheap fun for someone that should appreciate in value over the next decade too?.

------By 1977 when that series of Chevys came out NASCAR had downsized to midsize models several years prior along with both the other manufacturers......Bill S

Yes I think that is a 79 Caprice.

When I was in Chicago in May 1979 AVIS gave me one such Caprice because they didn't have the smaller car I had reserved in advance. I didn't complain about that I still remember that rear window.
