What is an Aerocoupe?
• The Aerocoupe Option is basically an aerodynamic “bubble” rear window that transitions from the edge of the roof to mid-way back the rear trunk area. It was born out of GM’s need to compete with the more aerodynamic Thunderbird in the NASCAR circuit. For the Monte Carlo to have this aerodynamic rear window on the race track, GM had to produce them for the public (minimum 200 production units per NASCAR regulations). • The Aerocoupe Option was first available in 1986. Only 200 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupes were produced in 1986. In 1987, 6052 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupes were produced. There were no 1988 Aerocoupes produced. • Refer to the 1986 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe Registry page for details of the rare 86 Aerocoupe. • Refer to the Aerocoupe Information section on this site for further links. • Refer to the Aerocoupe Section in the SS Exhibit section of this web site for pictures of some nice Aerocoupes.
