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.

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 Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
