From a Mercury Capri enthusiast page:

The Chevrolet Monza and its stablemates were introduced in 1975. Once again, GM had a good idea, then implemented it badly. Probably the best thing about these cars was the nice body styling. Initially, they were only available as a handsome fastback/hatchback, with the first rectangular headlights legal in the US.

So what? I'll say it again: That and some 20 other 1975 GM models (every Cadillac, most Buicks and Oldsmobiles, and some Pontiacs and Chevrolets)!

Oh, and by the way, all of them were "introduced in" 1974. So much for your Mercury Capri enthusiast page. Don't believe everything you read on the Web. ;-) :-)

So which one was the first?

I don't. I read your post on the web, and I don't believe it.

I remember the TV commercial for the Monza vividly, and the rectangular headlights were brand spankin' at the time. The other GM models' switch from round to rec were after the rollout of the Monza.
