Ray B. ◊ 2008-02-08 10:11	It's a Monterey OK, not a Montclair.
Big Dave ◊ 2008-02-08 13:14	Also, Phaeton was only used on 4 door hardtops not two doors. The 1956 brochure called them coupes.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-02-08 13:18	Oops, sorry.

(I drove one in High School) The Montclair would have a "saddle" area below the side windows with the contrasting body color in it, and a chrome strip around it. This Monterey is missing the script on the fender and the chrome rocker panel cover.
