1960 Pontiac Bonneville on 2040-cars

ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: trudipone@juno.com .
You are viewing my 1960 Pontiac Bonneville two-door coupe. This particular Bonneville was fully restored in the
last several years and is far and away the most striking '60 Bonneville I have ever seen. The Mahogany color
(paint code NN) of this Pontiac is just spectacular and it has a stance that really hearkens back to the car
culture of Southern California in the Sixties, when having the coolest ride meant everything. As you can see in
the photos and in the video provided at the link below, this car is in extremely nice condition, with a wheel and
tire combination that certainly enhances the attitude of this beautiful boulevard cruiser. I have never driven a
car that gets as much positive response as does this Bonneville. In an age when everyone seems lost in the ether
of the internet world I think that the bold body lines and confident stance of this car have the power to snap most
people out of their trance at least long enough to watch it roll by like something out of another time. I love
turning on the stereo (there's an FM receiver tucked tastefully in the glove compartment) and just rolling around
town at about 30 mph in this fine piece of American style, letting the world pass me by. Do that for an afternoon
and you'll realize just how insanely and unnecessarily rushed we've become. My hope that at least one person who's
seen me cruising has stopped, if only for a moment, and reevaluated why in the heck they're blowing by me like
Chicken Little. And maybe, just maybe, they have decided to do a little cruising of their own. I apologize for
the digression, but this car just inspires sunny thoughts of lazy summer days spent soaking up the best that life
has to offer.
Most of the particulars of the Bonneville have been covered in the summary above, but certainly if you have any
specific questions, feel free to contact me. I love talking about this car and just old cars in general.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
