The car is designed by
Bertone designers Marcello Gandini and Paolo Martin. The most eye
catching design feature is the car's front end with four headlamps
partly covered by unusual "grilles", that retract when the
lights are switched on. Another stylistic element are the slats
behind the doors containing the cabin vents. The Montreal was
discontinued in 1977, by then a total of 3925
Montreals were build.
