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

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.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced
Mon, Jan 29 2024DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
