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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
