  Show Quality example Classic Wide Track styling Excellent on the road  Up for bids here on eBay is this this show-stopping '59 Pontiac Bonneville. 1959 was the first year for Pontiac's signature split grill and wide track chassis. This 2 door hardtop was lightly restored from a very original example, it features an incredibly well preserved interior and perfect trim and chrome. Showing 24,762 miles, the car has many indicators of a low mile car but due to its age is sold mileage exempt. A DMV registration slip from 1991 shows an odometer statement of 017,190. My gut instinct said it's doubtful a car from 1959 could have this mileage, but the more I looked the more convinced I became. The interior is almost all original and shows hardly any wear. All of the trimwork on the dash is original and perfect. The exterior trim is all perfect. The window felts are original and look like new. The undercarriage is untouched and still has its original spiral shocks in the rear. In the end it doesn't matter much, mileage aside this '59 presents as new, probably one of the best Bonneville bubbletops on the market.
The car has had one repaint in its original combination of Sunset Glow with a Cameo Ivory roof. The paint is show quality throughout, I'm picky about paint and can say that there are no dissapointments with this finish. Perfect prep and perfect application, a very impressive final product. Excellent panel fit and of course no rust issues anywhere. Tires are Coker Classic radials with low miles. All 4 wheelcovers are in terrific shape. Trim, chrome and emblems are all outstanding. Excellent lights and lenses. Body line trim shows absolutely zero dings or damage. Bumpers front and rear are flawless and that's a word I don't use freely. The original license plate bracket for the front bumper is included. Grill is unmarked and like new. Original T3 headlights. The massive quarter panels are straight as an arrow, rear bumper fit is perfect. All of the minor details on this car can hold up to close scrutiny. Windshield is a high quality replacement and is crystal clear with no wear. With the exception of the windshield all of the glass are the factory tinted E-Z-Eye originals. They show some yellowing on the edges and the passenger side front window frame has some light pitting. This is the only area of pitting on the car, the remainder of the chrome is like new. The trunk has a replacement mat, the side panels and spare cover are original. The spare tire is original and all factory jacking equipment is present. Power antenna works correctly. Trunk lid shows the optional reel-out lamp. The carpet and mats have been replaced, otherwise this interior is all original, it's in terrific condition. All of the switchgear and trim on the dash looks like new. Dash pad is in great shape. Working radio with good sound. Clean glovebox and underdash area. Steering wheel has no cracks or splits, horn ring and center insert are in great shape. Pedals show no wear. All gauges work correctly except for the clock. Dash illumination and interior lighting all work. Garnish moldings are all excellent, door panels and weatherstripping as well. Doors close with one finger. Untouched rear seat area and speaker grill. Windows all wind smoothly. Ashtrays are unused. Headliner is original with the correct star pattern. The 389 runs excellent with no smoke, it provides plenty of power to move this large car down the road. The Hydramatic transmission shifts perfectly. Power steering and power brakes make around town driving easy. This is just a killer cruising car, it glides down the road beautifully. Steering is tight, suspension is great and the radial tires make freeway travel a pleasure. The car comes with a full binder of receipts and a photo documented record of the repaint. Included are the original owners manual and factory keys with their knockout plates intact. Also included is a high quality fitted car cover. The undercarriage is solid and original with no rust and no signs of damage. It does leak some oil when sitting. New exhaust from the manifolds back, the Blue Streak mufflers and resonators provide a really nice understated rumble, it completes the package of this iconic 50's cruiser.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
