FS: "SPECIAL" fender emblem

[tk826]

Although it's more Monaco related, rather than Bluesmobile, it is a pretty rare piece.

The Canadian specific SPECIAL emblem...

I feel like I am out of the loop. What is so special about the "special"?

Hi Spanks:


There's a lot of misleading info floating around about what a "Monaco Special" is.

From what I can gather, the true story is:
Monaco Special was a class of Monaco.
The order from lowest to highest was:
special
base
custom
brougham

Along with the DK - k-code cop, and DT - taxi

The special was only sold in Canada. All Canadian cop monacos were specials, but specials were also sold to the public. That king-of-the-hill blumo pic is an ex RCMP unmarked car.


your friend in special monacos,
