Yep, that's his name. I didn't get a shot of the interior, but it was perfect, and green. I told the owner of the Monaco about this site, I'm hoping he joins.

Believe me, he's a lurker already and has been for years

I think what he was saying is that there are more super lite cars now than were made.

That's the way I read it

Yeah. It was kinda tongue-in-cheek.
Like the Shaker Hood the Super Lite was a rare and expensive option back when these cars were new. I'm suprised to see so many these days. I probably saw more at Carlisle than i did as a kid back in the day.
Wasn't the Super Lite illegal in some states? I seem to remember dad telling me some states didn't allow them.

Where did you see one at Carlisle? Maybe one 69 there but out of 5 or 6 eligible cars

Does anyone have a link to the original discussion of this Monaco 500?

See the extra light in between the headlights?, that's the Superlight. It made for some additional illumination which was really super.

With and without super light.
