1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible (highly Optioned, 100% Complete, Rust Free) on 2040-cars
Year:1958
Mileage:93725

This is a totally original 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. This is a real Bonneville, not a Chieftain conversion. All the options on this car came on this car. None of them were added. So many of the Bonneville convertibles that you see now were basic cars originally. Most of them were bench seat, 4-barrel, Power Steering, Power Brakes and standard radio. It seems that they are now bucket seat, tri power, Sportable or Wonder Bar Radio, Power Windows, Antenna and even Factory Air. Several have been converted to Fuel Injection. This car came with every major option with the exception of factory air. It has bucket seats, tri power (with original air cleaner), Sportable Radio, Power Steering, Brakes, Windows, Antenna and Spinner Wheel covers. It came Deauville Blue with a Cashmere Blue Spear and light blue top with a blue liner. These are absolutely stunning colors. From the best I can tell, it is 100% original paint. It had the original top on it when I bought it but was threadbare and I removed what was left of it. The interior had been redone in button and tuck which was popular back in the day. I removed that and the original leather was still intact underneath. There wasn;t much left of the original sparkle carpet and I threw it away. I believe the car to be 100% complete. I have the Power Antenna and long rocker moldings which are not presently on the car. The car has beautiful floors, trunk and lower body. There is a very small amount of rust on the passenger side rear quarter. I mean small. I am the third owner. I know nothing about the original owner but the second owner who I bought the car from bought it in 1960. He drove it until 1972 when he said it was running rough and thinking it needed a timing chain and gear (old Pontiacs were notorious for that), he put it in his basement and it sat there until I bought it in 2006. (34 years) The car was in Ogden Utah. I am selling this car because I have 5 - 58 Bonnevilles (3 convertibles which are all tri power, bucket seat cars and 2 hardtops which are low mileage fuel injected cars. At my age (69) I don't know that I'll get around to restoring it and I have 11 other cars in addition to the 58's. I feel like it is time to downsize a little bit. This car is not cheap and I don't have to sell it. However, I challenge you to find a more complete, higher option , more solid 58 bonneville convertible to restore. I'll be glad to discuss the car with anyone who has an interest. My name is Joe Evans and my home phone is 409-938-0780. I encourage anyone who is interested to fly down and view it in person. I live 35 miles south of Houston. You would fly in to Houston Hobby. I'll be glad to pick you up , take you to see the car, and return you to the airport.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
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.
Driving Notes
Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again
Mon, Apr 17 2017When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.
