Owen -

That image fits better with what I was thinking for the other Monte Carlo, but my fuzzy recollection is of a front 3/4 view and monochromatic paint, with vinyl covering on the rear roof - perhaps only a rendering, though.

Starting off with a hardtop body was needed to get the removable roof, but that makes no sense for the rear seat occupants.

I would have expected, rather, the front half of a hardtop married to the rear of club sedan (that is, up to the front hinge pillars), with the front sedan doors reworked to serve as rear doors - along the lines of the 5450/5451 models - and the rear closed off from the front - like a limo.
