1997 Goodwrench Service Monte Carlo (1/64th and 1/25th Model): This is the standard paint scheme for the 1997 racing season. It bears the familiar GM logo and Goodwrench Service lettering on the hood. This was the first model where the headlight decals went from single color paint-over to the now more common faux-glass decal approach. The window frame has no decals and the Burger King decal is alone on the rear quarter panel. Dale would finish this season 5th, 494 points behind 2 time champion Jeff Gordon.
