The Dodge Monaco is an automobile that was marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler Corporation. Introduced as the flagship of the Dodge product line, the Monaco was introduced for 1965 to replace the Custom 880, later superseding the Polara model line. During its production, the Monaco was offered in multiple body configurations, including two-door and four-door hardtop sedans, four-door sedans, two-door convertibles, and station wagons.From 1965 to 1977, three generations of the Monaco were produced with the full-size Chrysler C platform. For 1977 and 1978, Dodge shifted the Monaco to the intermediate Chrysler B platform, effectively downsizing the model line. For 1979, the model line was redesigned and renamed the Dodge St. Regis.After a 12-year hiatus, the full-size Monaco was revived for 1990 as the flagship Dodge sedan, replacing the Diplomat. A rebadged version of the AMC-developed Eagle Premier, the Monaco was replaced by the Dodge Intrepid for 1993
The 1977 model year brought changes to the Dodge Monaco line up as a lingering result of the 1973-1974 energy crisis, especially as Chrysler decided to move the Dodge Monaco, in name form only, from the full-size C platform-body to the mid-size B platform-body line up for the 1977 model year. The entire 1977 Dodge Monaco line up received a make-over. The previous model year's full-size C-body Dodge Monaco (from 1976) became, just for one year only, the full-size C-body 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco until its discontinuation from all production during the end of the 1977 model year. The mid-size B-body 1977 Dodge Monaco four-door wagon and four-door sedan replaced the previous model year's Coronet four-door wagon and four-door sedan. The 1977 Dodge Monaco Brougham four-door sedan replaced the previous model year's Coronet Brougham four-door sedan. The 1977 Dodge Monaco Crestwood four-door wagon replaced the previous model year's Coronet Crestwood four-door wagon. However, the 1977 Dodge Monaco, for all marketing practices, were little-changed from the 1976 Coronet. The 1977 models received a revised front end design with stacked rectangular headlamps.For the 1978 model year, the mid-size B-body 1978 Dodge Monaco was unchanged from the previous model year. It became Dodge's largest car during the 1978 model year. The Dodge Monaco was discontinued at the end of the 1978 model year. The B-Body cars continued in the form of the Dodge Charger until 1979.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is a state law enforcement agency of the U.S. state of California. The CHP has patrol jurisdiction over all California highways and are also known as the state police. They also have jurisdiction over city roads, and have the right to conduct law enforcement procedures there.
The California State Legislature originally established the California Highway Patrol as a branch of the Division of Motor Vehicles in the Department of Public Works, with legislation signed by Governor C. C. Young on August 14, 1929. It was subsequently established as a separate department with legislation signed by Governor Earl Warren in 1947. The CHP gradually assumed increased responsibility beyond the enforcement of the State Vehicle Act and eventually merged with the smaller California State Police in 1995.[3] It is currently organized as part of the California State Transportation Agency (CALSTA).
In addition to its highway patrol duties, the CHP also provides other services including protecting state buildings and facilities (most notably the California State Capitol) and bodyguarding state officials. The CHP also works with municipal and federal law enforcement agencies, providing assistance in investigations, patrol and other aspects of law enforcement.
The California Highway Patrol is the largest state police agency in the United States, with more than 10,700 employees, 7,500 of whom are sworn officers, according to FBI data

The updated wheels and tires were long overdue. Good work, Round 2!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
I love model cars forever from wesley Allen Dowd and keep it up please and can you please put bald eagle together please to
I love the way you choose to build and paint and how you present the kit reviews even when some may have some unwanted flaws, you choose to move forward and build through to completion. I can see why you have such an impressive viewing audience, congratulations and your "old school" my kinda guy. Thanks for everything and stay during this critical time.
Thanks for watching!
I may need a case of these! I've built a few Monacos in the past and love these kits. If you want a better chassis you can use the one from the older AMT Plymouth Road Runner/ GTX and Dodge Coronet.
Appreciate the chassis info! 👍
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
it's about time MPC added better suited tires, rather than the older "Racing Only" tires in previous releases. I still enjoy this kit so i'm glad they keep releasing it.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
If only it was a 74 Monaco, I am surprised no company produces them yet.
The Legged One yeah ive been wanting one i built the bluesmobile out of the joker version because it was the closest thing ofcourse
I Think green light makes a couple of 1/24 scale monaco's, blues mobile and a Chicago police cruiser diecasts though...
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
My dad still wears pants from 1974
@@brianglade848 I won a lot of stuff older than 1974, cars, furniture, guns, etc. Well made for sure. I don't think I have any clothes that old though
The Black guys name was Jed on CHIPS Bear was Barry Barikza.
Jebediah Turner was played by Michael Dorn, Trekkies know him better as Lt. Worf.
Yeah, I made a booboo and swapped the guys.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
I was just about to say!! Unless he was talking about fritz
Bear was also the ONLY one to ever draw (draw down) his fire arm on the show...once during the rolling casino (shot gun) and twice on Danny Bonaduce (once in real time, once in flash back) when Danny attacked Bear with the bo (and flash back the staff)......o.k, I watched too much t.v. back then.
Nice build. Almost expect to hear the sirens, and see the lights flashing. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
They did a really good job on that Twinsonic. Keep up the good work, R2 !!
Great build, done just right. I saw a few of the earlier models in my rear view mirror when I lived in Socal in the late 60's...LOL
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Ok. I looked it up! The Blues Mobile was a 1974 Monaco! This is a 78! Completely different body style!!! To a real Blues Brothers fan,a purest, that would be highly inappropriate!!!! Great build,and that paint job was pretty dang slick!
Thank you,and happy new years
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Really good build. I love the added accessories! The white and black coats came out great. "It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas." Elwood Blues when talking about a 1974 Monaco. This car comes from a magnificent predecessor.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
What a new year already simple breath taking. I am totally taken aback with the finish.👍
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
These remind me of the cruisers they used on " Chips "...
These where in every US tv series we watched as kids. Patrol car or like the hunter car you build. Good old days lol. Love your channel. Great builds.
Thanks for watching!
Nearly ten years ago,I built a fictional Texas sheriff's car from an older version of the same kit. It was the AMT® BATMAN™ Joker Goon Squad/Gotham City Police Car kit. To make the taillights look more like the actual Dodge Monaco taillights(the ones in the kit look more like they were from a Dodge Coronet or Plymouth Fury),I covered them with Bare Metal Chrome Foil,painted them with Testors Taillight Red and Amber Turn Signal paints,let them dry and finished them with hand-painted chrome silver stripes.
even after the emission regulations the 440 still produced 250hp!😎👍🏻
I really like the new parts for this CHP version of this kit. You did a sweet job of building your Kit.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Loved that Classic tv show..
CHiPs..
That's what I get for making my own Twinsonic lightbars from PE and having them plated. The new parts they added are great, better late than never !!!!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Happy New Year Chris, also great this kit finally got (some of) the parts it should've had from the get go, so thanks Round-2 for the update!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
@@hpiguy do you have any of this in completed form for sale? Would you build one for sale?
I have several of these in un built condition when they were issued as the Dukes of Hazzard Sheriff, Joker "Goon Car" and the TJ Hooker issue. Now I will get a couple of these also!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Great build and review Chris!! I have been looking forward to this release!! Thanks to Round2 for the new updated parts, very well done!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
I'm glad they finally got the wheels and tires correct for that model kit..great build😊😊😊
Thanks 👍
My police department here in New York bought these Dodges and found them to be quite fast. In a straight roadway. They were later replaced by Ford Crown Vics which were more reliable and the ‘police package made them handle like race cars. I retired just before Ford stopped making them and they were replaced by SUVs.
Just started modeling very helpful watching your videos they are very helpful for a beginner also hi from England
That tamiya orange makes it so much more realistic. Awesome.. I’m making the same model right now and am going to add a little cage fence in the backseats, maybe windows too👻
Thanks for doing this build.. Brought back memories of " Chips "...
Beautiful build, just needs the dual black A-pillar spotlights.
Very cool, you really captured the look of how those appeared on CHiPs.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
For the black recess in grilles, I use a ultra fine point black marker. The tip fits right into the recesses and does not have to be wiped.
Thank you for your support and visiting the channel!
Happy New Year...........great start with a mopar my favorite!!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Cop motor, 440 cubic inch plant, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, model made before catalytic converts and will run good on regular gas! Where is the speaker Elwood? lol. I still have a couple of Joker Goon car kits in my stash. Great build.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Lew Saunders (The “black guy” on CHiP’s) was Gene Fritz. Brodie Greer was Baricza or Bear.
Everybody used that car back in the day. A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, C.H.I.P.S., and I built the T.J. Hooker and Ghostbuster NYPD cruiser. Great vid bud. HAPPY NEW YEAR, and Build on Brother....😎
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
The movie people went to Sacramento and got a lot of them from the auction, which oddly enough they had to repaint them black and white again because the CHP had REALLY cheap paint applied for auction, regular reds, blues, white, green etc.
Love it! Doin' a CHIP's car & a Texas DPS car. Super deal & many thanx👍😉
Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment!

It looks like one of the cop cars they used in the first TERMINATOR movie. Very nice! 🙂👍
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
And to think, the Monaco was a mid-sized police car. Beautiful build!!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
thanx again chris, I have done a couple of police vehicles, my best was the '57 fprd fairlane wagon, whic isan awesome kit, and it turned out fantastic! by the way.....HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours, hope this year we can see even more of your great kit builds!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
As always a pleasure watching you build! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That is really cool, you did an amazing job on it just like all the rest. Keep up the great work and R.I.P.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Jay Leno had a video of vintage CHP cars on his channel a few years ago. Very cool to see a model of one! Happy New Year, Chris!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Very nice, very shine and well finished painting.
Just need to turn the key and start the engine.

I really love the music that’s in this video, very relaxing to watch.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
The model looks great! The Future gives it a nice finish too. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you too!
I love your channel, it seems every time I want to buy a new kit, I look it up on here and your videos are always first to pop up! You’re the best man 🤙
Sweet, glad you like it!
Great build, all you need now is John and Ponch's motorcycles! LOL
Oh yes!
I've been enjoying your videos! Even though I have not put a model together in 25 years, I have learned so much in such a short time from you! I'm glad to see the narrow wheels and tires in this kit. The wide wheels in the original kit annoyed me, it made the car look more like a dirt track car than a street sedan. I still have the Joker Car when it first came out in 1989, I made mine into as a primered up beater!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!

Again, an entertaining presentation with a delightfully satisfying end, of an astonishingly long list of them.
Incidentally, at 19:50, you ask who played “Bear” on CHiPs (NBC, 1977-1983)? Brodie Greer played “Officer Barry Baricza”, pronounced “Ba-RICH-uh” (the Slavonic “cz” sounds like the “ch” as in the word “chew” to English speakers), hence “Bear”, on CHiPs.
Michael Dorn for six seasons played “Lt. Worf”, chief of security on the United Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701D, in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994, Paramount). In Star Trek: First Contact (1998, Paramount, Jonathan Frakes, Jerry Goldsmith), he had the best line of the motion picture, a retort to the Borg: “Assimilate THIS!”
On CHiPs, Mr. Dorn played “Officer Jebediah Turner”.
Yes, I know: NERD ALERT! NERD ALERT! NERD ALERT!
I had my favorite hobby shop set 2 aside for me!
I believe you're right about Bear driving one of these as well...
Hello, very nice build. That kit has many options as you mentioned. I can see it as a family sedan or a Police car with aftermarket decals like the ones I have stashed away. Fire DOT, Taxi and so many more. So many decals available on line. I can see myself buying several. Thank you again Like your quick builds they come out great.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
As a trucker, Chips has a special meaning lol but Chris, you have outdone yourself on this build police cars are not easy to build and you did this justice no punn intended lol, this would look great on a diaroma behind my truck model, be blessed and happy new year.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
It reminds me of a old film.
Is it after some folks 'Who are on a mission from god?'
This is the wrong car. Blue Mobile was an older bigger car!
I was thinking more of the cops chasing them
It's great, would love to see a proper 74 Monaco for the Bluesmobile with a big speaker, etc.
This was in dukes of hazzard, A-team....just about every 80's tv show
Nice build looks great. The last CHP I saw was parked behind me while he wrote out my situation thanks
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Excellent superb outstanding job you did with that beautiful model and as always keep up your great work it’s amazing well done.
Thank you very much!
FYI the shotgun was mounted in an upright position to the left of the radio. Otherwise fantastic build.

Can’t wait to build it ! I have the original Joker Car from 89 as well. Great review Chris

Happy New Year!
Beautiful paint! Great job!
I'm a fan of "CHiPs" &
I still watch ADAM-12 during my
lunch break at work!
I watch CHiPs any time I see it on the tube!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Chris, love your build of the 78 Dodge CHP police car! Excellent work! A great way to start off 2020! I've always loved the older big bodied police cars since seeing them as a kid! Must grab this release!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
I was in Hobby Lobby yesterday looking at a car model on the side was a photo of the front grill assembly. In my head I heard you saying "We have a nice detailed grill there"

It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas.
Actually, this year had catalytic converters and ran on unleaded gas. Still, a really cool car back in 1978
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Looks great! BUT you forgot the all-present A-Pillar spotlights
I will definitely be getting this kit, I have made some Utah Highway Patrol decals that I will use on mine.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Sweet ! My first car was a Dodge Monaco Lol
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
looks good. thanks for the painting tips. maybe on a build could show attaching inside vehicle to frame and putting body on?
Now we need a 74 monaco i built the bluesmobile using the joker verison made my own bumper guard. I think im gonna have to build this one as a chp car now. Awesome build like aways.
A 74 would sell like hot cakes.
I was around when these struck fear in the hearts of motorists. I'm sure every cop that drove them is now retired.
Yes ! Very good job for this beginning of 2020 ! Have a happy new year !
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Clean job
Thanks!
After watching this video I had to buy one of these. You did a great job but I could be wrong but I do not think the CHIPs cars on the TV Show had numbers or the Serve and protect on the car. Either way looks great I plan on buying 3 or 4 more of these to do up from other TV shows.
It's not a perfect replica, I always change it a bit for myself.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Another excellent build, BRAVO!!! I also loved all the info you provided on this car, I love all law enforcement builds. You and your channel are aces, thanks!!!

Great work HpiDudes.
Thanks dude!
Could you do a Blues Brothers version? That'd be gold.
Rob B That was not the car used in the Blues Brothers. They used a 74 Dodge Royal Monaco, which was a full sized car. This car was considered mid size, believe it or not
@@Johnnyjonas274 I'm just getting into modeling, but The Blues Brothers is BY FAR my favorite movie ever. I'm only 33, but I have family history in that movie! And it's filmed in the area I grew up. Is there a plastic model kit of the Blues Brothers car!? Would love to get my hands on one and make it once I get better at modeling.
Ray Lenz I’ve only seen die cast metal ones, Ray. I’m surprised, but I can’t find a plastic kit of that car on-line. By the way, my mistake, the car is a 1974 Monaco, not Royal Monaco. When Dodge changed the name of the Coronet to Monaco in 1977, they changed the name of the full sized “Bluesmobile” to Royal Monaco. Plymouth messed with the Satellite, Fury, and Gran Fury names too. Chrysler liked to confuse people, I guess 🤷♂️
I have been dying to do a blues brothers car also as I love the movie. Hope they release the model to give us an opportunity to build it.
Now that's talent. Amazing job!

Great build, like all the extra goodies. Thanks Chris

Fantastic , the blues brothers car 😂
Close, yup!
Happy new year. Love this build! It's quite beautiful. And it was funny to see it in a hangar bay from Star Trek. At least, it looked like what we were shown on TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
It's pretty cool that R2 update their kits. The next updates they should do on this kit, IMO, is an independent exaust from the floor bottom and clear lenses for the headlights. And maybe a little more engine bay detail.

Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Excellent awesome job on the model.
Thank you very much!
The full size cruisers were best
( don’t forget the big ol Ford
Crown Vic. )
Neat-o and tuff
Yeah!
Now someone just needs to produce a Kawasaki CHP motorcycle in 1/25 scale. I believe they used KZ 1000s in the show, but could be mistaken. Then the cruiser could hangout with its old friends 7 Mary 3 and 7 Mary 4 on the shelf!
Yup, a matching cycle would be cool. I know Revell makes a big scale CHiPs bike.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
The new light bar is, appropriately, a Federal California Twinsonic, the most popular unit of the time. It looks a little tall to me, I think I would shave about 2mm off the bottoms of the lenses and the center section to make it come into scale.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Light bars are not normally used, most chp cruisers are "slicktop".
