"Chevrolet" name
Did anyone ever notice the "CHEVROLET" name does not appear anywhere on the 06-07 Monte Carlo.Nowhere outside,or inside or even under the hood for that matter.
I am aware of the "bowties",but the actual word "CHEVROLET" is nowhere to be found.As far as I can remember,it was absent on my 2000 SS as well.
I do know the 86-88 Monte Carlo had it on the passenger side dash,and I beleive some had it on the wheel center caps.
Years ago any Chevrolet had badges all over the place.Look at a '57 for example.I just thought this was interesting.

“This was also the year (1913) that the famous Chevrolet trademark was first used on the cars. The distinctive trademark has appeared billions of times on products, advertisings and sales literature as the mark of dependability, economy and quality in motor transportation. It originated
in Durant’s imagination when, as a world traveler in 1908, he saw the pattern marching off into infinity as a design on wallpaper in a French hotel. He tore off a piece of the wallpaper and kept it to show friends
with the thought that it would make a good nameplate for a car.”

RE: "Chevrolet" name
I too noticed the absense of the Chevrolet name on my '06 Monte. But I thought oh well, their loss. Plus I know what kind of cool car I own. 
Years ago any Chevrolet had badges all over the place.Look at a '57 for example.
They are?
The BelAir has "Chevrolet" only on the hood & trunk IF the car is a V8 from the factory. Otherwise it's the crest at these places to indicate a 235 6 cylinder under the hood.
The 2100 model (Two-Ten) does have "Chevrolet" on the tail fins inside the area where the BelAir aluminum insert is on BelAir. But 210s got a painted section.
Both 210s and 150s got the name "Chevrolet" on the dash. BelAir got the name plate "BelAir" on the dash.
And both theV8 and 6 cylinder carsgot the name "Chevrolet" appears on the valve covers.
