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!

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
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.
