Vehicle Description
STK 2661 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe
Back in 1959, Pontiac engineers conceived the 'Wide Track' chassis
and suspension design. They were working to dramatically improve
the handling of their full-size Pontiac. The Bonneville was a
relatively new model, having debuted in 1957, but was the crown
jewel of the Pontiac division. This Bonneville Coupe is a perfect
example of that new 'Wide Track' design. Our Bonnie's exterior is
original except for one respray (1987). The current owner (33
years) states that this is a 'matching numbers' car and that the
mileage shown, 44,238, is actual. There is a comprehensive folder
of documents and receipts that provide details on the care and
maintenance of this beautiful Bonneville. Included is a copy of the
original 'Car Invoice' (McElmurray Pontiac) that shows all factory
options including its rare tri-power carburation. From a
performance standpoint, there is an icon under the hood - the then
newly-released 389ci engine. This poweplant was to become the
mainstay in the full-sized Pontiac line for many years. It also
became the 'Go' in the GTO. Our Pontiac's engine is completely
original, factory equipped with the infamous Pontiac 'tri-power'
carb set-up, and backed by Pontiac's 4-speed Super HydraMatic
transmission. The Bonneville's chassis is equipped with power
steering, 4-wheel power drum brakes and 14" road wheels
w/wide-white bias-ply tires and factory 'tri-blade' wheel covers.
The interior is also all-original except for new carpets and
re-chromed dash 'inserts'. There is a factory gauge package, tinted
windows and working factory AM radio w/power antenna. Fans of the
Poncho performance division will continue to ensure the
collectability of this early Wide-Track 'muscle' car. ALL VEHICLES
