The brand Bonneville was introduced by Pontiac as a limited production performance convertible during the 1957 model year. The Bonneville and its platform partner, the Grand Ville, are some of the largest Pontiacs ever built and have long been associated with having a graceful combination of elegant yet sporty styling, combined with shocking power and "Wide Track" suspension, a combination which led to the entire 1965 Pontiac line being the recipient of Motor Trend's Car of the Year. Perhaps more than ever, the Bonneville convertible is climbing the ladder of desirability in the powerful big car market.

Subtle changes to the body provide a more chiseled stance with a lower hood and accentuated bodylines, without losing an ounce of grace. While their GM brethren shared the basic sheet metal, buyers--and certainly collectors today--can easily distinguish the Pontiac from the rest of the market simply because of their exceptional front ends.
