Anybody have any production figures on these? A buddy of mine is thinking of building a cruiser out of one of these that he recently picked up CHHEEAAPP! The engine vin code is H....330/335 hp 383. This thing is loaded power windows, power locks. It needs a lot of work, but no rust (Texas), and no dents. The car hasn't run in years, but it's all there.

No production figures, but here's what Thomas McPherson writes in "The Dodge Story":

"The most expensive car in the Monaco model line was the magnificent Monaco station wagon. This luxury wagon was quickly identified by its imitation wood grain side trim. It offered a full 96.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seat and was available in either 2-seat, 6-passenger form or as a 3-seat, 9-passenger wagon. The 3-seat version, Model DH46, sold for $3,835 and weighed 4,360 pounds. The 6-passenger version, called a Model DH45 carried a price tag of $3,702 and tipped the scales at 4,295 pounds."

Got any pics?

no pics, weather bad here. I will try to get some this weekend. Pretty neat ride. I told my buddy he should do the car, and have something different.
