#10 – 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
The first on our “Top 10 Classic American Muscle Cars Ever Made” list is the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. As one of the most distinctive cars of the 1980s, it built a loyal following. The 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo could hit 60 in about 8 seconds, a respectable number for the 80s but far from the fastest on this list. Still, the Monte Carlo was a fun car to drive and was offered at an attractive price. It was also among the more stylish cars of the decade. Chevy did bring the Monte Carlo back in the 90s and 00s but the new models never capture the magic of the older versions.
Quick Fact: Famed NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt used Monte Carlos in many seasons throughout his career.
