Monaco sighting online

[2FAB]

Spotted on the Yahoo homepage... During a Christmas parade in Shelby, North Carolina, on Sunday, a soldier just home from Afghanistan got out of the back of a '75-'77 Royal Monaco (or '76 Monaco) to the surprise of his family along the parade route. The video is from ABC News. The car, according to the article, was an actual Shelby patrol car.

Here's a screen grab:

I wrote the department shortly after 2FAB posted this, commending their efforts on the parade and asking if there was any other info on the Monaco. I also asked about the possibility of there being a photo album somewhere on or offline...

... never got a reply.

I asked them the EXACT same thing, never got a reply either. How can there be no pictures of this car anywhere? I could only find one pic/grab from the same parade ...



Maybe another search of flickr and photobucket is in order but it's like a ghost car. It must spend the majority of its life hidden in a garage.

Sadly, this is the fate of most collector cars; only leaving to be seen in the light of day at a car show or when sold.
