I'm absolutely in love with the rocketship styling of this drop top Bonneville! And the consensus is shared amongst the museum employees. This is a beautiful and unique vehicle! The Bonneville was the highest trim level and the most expensive Pontiac for 1958 Even better, this one is equipped with the tri-power set up and extremely rare 4 bucket seats. Only 3,096 convertibles were made total, factor in the options on this one it is certainly a very rare car!
EXTERIOR: One year only body, I think it's the best from the '50s. First year for quad headlights, it has a lower and longer silhouette, ribbed trunk lid and concave 1/4 panels. It also has optional fender skirts. This one is straight as an arrow with no rust. Repainted in its original colors. It's an older paint job that shows very well, it has a mirror reflection although there are some touch-ups and minor imperfections. All the chrome and trim, and there's plenty of it, is in great shape. It has some very cool features: check out the side moldings that represent a rocket, or the jets on top of the fenders! How about the exhaust coming through the bumper or the reverse light that swings open to access the fuel filler. I think they were trying to listen to the Martians because the power antenna seems to reach the stars. It has a white power top in very good shape. The deluxe hubcaps are wrapped in reproduction BF Goodrich white walls.
INTERIOR: Wow, 4 bucket seats? Yes, this was the first year for the buckets and I believe only Pontiac had them front and back. Each one was correctly reupholstered in genuine leather. They had the mindset that too much was not enough, I'm looking at the dash filled with chrome. Down on the floor it has silver sparkles woven through the carpet, even the brake and gas pedals are fancy. The door panels are so cool I would hang one in my office like artwork. It has reproduction mats; a speed minder and seatbelts were added. Overall, unabused and in very good condition.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: A 370 cubic inch power plant topped with the tri-power carb setup; how can you go wrong! This may be the smoothest and quietest idling car that we currently have at the museum, literally whisper quiet at idle. It is a very nice stock looking engine compartment with lots of little details from the factory included. How about the original glass windshield washer reservoir or the see through fuel filter; all these finite details are conversation starters at your local car shows. It also features power steering and brakes. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall have all been neatly painted shiny black. Factory style insulation is applied under the hood. All the hoses and wires are neatly run, and the entire engine appears clean. This is a top-notch engine bay in all respects!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted nicely. It is rock solid inside and has a correct plaid mat that has been cut to fit. It has a full-size rim and whitewall for a spare along with a jack and lug wrench. It has the trunk light that detaches and can be used all around the car.
