Vehicle Detail
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!
