1960 Pontiac Bonneville on 2040-cars
Ouaquaga, New York, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: trudipone@juno.com .
You are viewing my 1960 Pontiac Bonneville two-door coupe. This particular Bonneville was fully restored in the
last several years and is far and away the most striking '60 Bonneville I have ever seen. The Mahogany color
(paint code NN) of this Pontiac is just spectacular and it has a stance that really hearkens back to the car
culture of Southern California in the Sixties, when having the coolest ride meant everything. As you can see in
the photos and in the video provided at the link below, this car is in extremely nice condition, with a wheel and
tire combination that certainly enhances the attitude of this beautiful boulevard cruiser. I have never driven a
car that gets as much positive response as does this Bonneville. In an age when everyone seems lost in the ether
of the internet world I think that the bold body lines and confident stance of this car have the power to snap most
people out of their trance at least long enough to watch it roll by like something out of another time. I love
turning on the stereo (there's an FM receiver tucked tastefully in the glove compartment) and just rolling around
town at about 30 mph in this fine piece of American style, letting the world pass me by. Do that for an afternoon
and you'll realize just how insanely and unnecessarily rushed we've become. My hope that at least one person who's
seen me cruising has stopped, if only for a moment, and reevaluated why in the heck they're blowing by me like
Chicken Little. And maybe, just maybe, they have decided to do a little cruising of their own. I apologize for
the digression, but this car just inspires sunny thoughts of lazy summer days spent soaking up the best that life
has to offer.
Most of the particulars of the Bonneville have been covered in the summary above, but certainly if you have any
specific questions, feel free to contact me. I love talking about this car and just old cars in general.

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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
