The Bonneville convertible was Pontiac's top-of-the-line-model for
1960, and it retains that premier aura today. Pontiac dropped some
of the Bonneville's most elaborate styling cues for 1960, creating
a clean, elegant car. The handsome good looks starts with the
signature split grille and quad headlamps, and follow the long
beltline moldings that end with three chrome dashes to two pairs of
rocket-tube tail lamps. Giving a touch of class, adornments are
limited to tasteful fender scripts, the Pontiac V-shape emblem on
the lower front fenders, and subtle remnants of the fanciful fins
of the years before. This car's white finish is in excellent
condition, bright and clean and smooth. The bumpers and trim, too,
are clean and bright.
More than just good looks, this beautiful restoration sports the
"Tri-Power" triple two-barrel carburetor option for its potent 389
cubic inch V8 engine. The Bonneville name was inspired by the Utah
Salt Flats, where so many of the world's land speed records have
been set. In addition to straight line speed, the Bonneville
boasted a "wide-track" stance, with wheels pushed farther out
toward the fenders than any other manufacturer. It was an increase
of five inches over the previous generation! Pontiac had produced
what many considered to be America's best-cornering full-size
car.
Open the door and slide into the beautiful Harbor Blue leather
driver's seat, an appropriate name for colors that channel the
bright blues of coastal Greece. Mediterranean vacation, anyone? The
dash is in excellent condition, as are the walnut inserts, abundant
original brightwork, and wood steering wheel. Additional luxury
appointments include a power seat and power windows.
If you're looking for a rare, beautiful, muscular luxury car from
the days when they did it right, this 1960 Pontiac Bonneville
Convertible is the very car you're seeking. There are more features
to list-power steering, power brakes, hydra-matic transmission,
etc.-but this car is more than the sum of its parts.
Come in for a test drive and see if you can repress your smile!
