1958 Pontiac Bonneville on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
1958 was the high point of chrome for GM, and this Bonneville was the "chromiest" Pontiac money could buy! Powered by a 370ci Tri Power engine and gorgeous from nose to tail and with AACA national awards this is one of the finest ’58 Pontiacs left on the planet! A Bonny for the public went on sale in 1957 in the form of 630 very expensive, fully loaded convertibles as a trim package. 1958 Marked both the start of the Bonneville as an independent model and GM’s 50th anniversary, where Harley Earl’s styling studio was let loose to do as they pleased, no matter the excess. The result was a complete retooling for a single year’s worth of cars across the board and the most chrome and trim ever seen on any cars, ever. Get inside the mint interior—we HAVE to start here first because it’s simply too cool in there! Obviously, every single thing you’ll touch has been recovered, replated or replaced, and done to a national show level. Look past the mint steering wheel (with mint center emblem—it really is that nice) and focus on the dashboard. There’s an underlying convex stainless panel running the width of the dash, and the gauges and accessories are mounted off of that panel to make them look like they’re floating. It’s awesome! Repeating circles house the instruments, vents and even the cigar lighter! There isn’t a single worn, damaged or improper piece in here! The Calypso Green cloth and leather interior seats are mint, the "star" pattern headliner looks like it was installed yesterday as does the Trinidad carpet in green with silver flecks! You won’t believe the quality of the chrome plating in here, either—it’s perfect! An AM radio provides (well, thanks to it programming choices) the same tunes it pulled in in 1958, and the rear speaker nestled between the outboard rear seats ensures that no one’s left out of the Lawrence Welk show!

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
