In 1959, I was 15. My parents had just bought a Pontiac Bonneville Vista Dome 4dr hardtop. It was Coral top /white body w/coral and white interior. It was STUNNING ! I loved this car.
My favorite was the 1965 Bonneville, my parents had one when I was in high school. Sadly they traded it for a 1971 Grand Ville which wasn't even close to being what the Bonneville was. My first car was a 1963 Pontiac Catalina, I had a lot of fun with that car. I also owned several Oldsmobile models, sad that they are both now gone.
Thank you and thank you! This was one of the cars I wanted to see. You covered Grand Ville( Grand Bonneville) and Parisienne. Too bad you could not get into the whole Canadian Bonneville aspect with Parisienne. You did an excellent job. I see the effort placed into the video and the footage too. I smiled watching taking note of everything stated. That was a smooth move describing the change and the length from G Body Bonneville( 1986) and H Body Bonneville( 1987). You did a great job showing the change from 1999 Bonneville and 2000 Bonneville. I have many favorites over the years( 1975,1976,1980-1981,1982-1986,1988( SSE),1992-1999,and 2000-2005 ( the end). I do indeed thank you. Driving Pontiac indeed.
I was given a female friend`s family Pontiac so I could teach her to drive. It was a wide track chieftain and almost the best full size family car ever.
I'd proudly park a 1970 Bonneville, Executive or Catalina (especially with a 455) in my driveway compared to an Aztek or any other post-2007 vehicle. The front end of full-size '70 Ponchos didn't have many admirers back then, but take one to a car show today and you're sure to get plenty of compliments. (I always thought the 1971 full-size Pontiac front end was ugly, not the '70.)
@@jamesterakazis6624 Oh, 1965-66 was definitely the pinnacle in terms of styling, no doubt about that. But there's still no comparison between the '70 styling to an Aztek or any current-day vehicle. Yeah, the schnoz on the '70 is certainly different and unique, but in a good way.
