The second generation of the Chevy Monte Carlo starting in 1973, and the most dominant thing that people could see change with the new generation is the fact that they changed the car to a pillared coupe, which was the style of the time. They also help to improve the noise reduction system on the car and help with safety should the car roll over in an accident. The second generation of the car continued until 1978, when the introduction of the third generation of the Chevy Monte Carlo started.

The third generation of the Chevy Monte Carlo lasted from 1978 to 1980 in which during this time, people saw the Chevy Monte Carlo downsize. This was due to the fact that people were wanting smaller cars to deal with the high price of gas at the time and overall feelings towards those larger cars were slowly disappearing.

The fourth generation of the Chevy Monte Carlo did some sign changes to the body style in that it took on the same appearance as the Buick Cutlass and the Pontiac Grand Prix during this time. The fourth generation starting in 1981 and went to 1988, during the time it saw some minor changes, yet it stayed pretty similar to the Cutlass and Grand Prix, and once again proved itself to be a great car to consider buying.

After 1988, the name of the Chevy Monte Carlo was gone, and the person will find that it was not until 1995 that they saw the Chevy Monte Carlo come back onto the market for consumers to buy. And during this time most people were eager to see the changes and to see how much the beloved Chevy Monte Carlo had been changed. The fifth generation started in 1995 and went until 1999. The Monte Carlo name was given to the coupe version of the Chevrolet Lumina, which was a bit of a disappointment to many people out there. 

The sixth generation from 2000 to 2007, were the years in which the Chevy Monte Carlo went back to its roots and became the car that people wanted to see. But finally, the company retired the model in 2007.
