Gateway Classic Cars of Denver welcomes this 1961 Pontiac
Bonneville!The Bonneville remained Pontiac's costliest and most
luxurious model throughout the 1960s. The distinctive protruding
grille made its appearance on all Pontiac products during the early
1960s. The Bonneville differed from its lesser Catalina and Star
Chief counterparts by featuring more luxurious interior trim with
upgraded cloth and Morrokide vinyl or expanded Morrokide upholstery
in sedans and coupes, expanded Morrokide in Safari wagons and
genuine leather seating in convertibles. Bonnevilles (with the
exception of Bonneville Safari station wagons) were also (along
with Star Chiefs) built on a longer wheelbase version of GM's
B-Body. Also found in the Bonneville were instrument panels and
door panels with walnut veneer trim, carpeted lower door panels,
grab bar on the passenger side of the dash and courtesy lights and
a rear arm rest.Bonneville models were standard equipped with
Hydra-Matic (through 1964) or Turbo Hydra-Matic (1965-on) automatic
transmissions. Other options: power steering and power brakes as
well as air conditioning. Other popular options included power
windows, power seats, radio, cruise control, and 8-lug aluminum
wheels (This one has them!) that included integral brake drums for
improved stopping power. The Bonneville also had more powerful
standard V8 engines than other full-sized Pontiacs including the
389 cu in (6.4 l) (this one is an Original Tri-Power) or 400 cu in
(6.6 l) V8s with four-barrel carburetors (power ratings of 303 to
340 hp (226 to 254 kW) depending on year) with many optional V8
offerings available including Tri-Power (three two-barrel
carburetor) options on both the 389 cu in (6.4 l) and 421 cu in
(6.9 l) V8s that offered up to 376 hp (280 kW) through 1966. For
1963 only, Pontiac also offered the 421 cu in (6.9 l) Super Duty
with two four-barrel carburetors, rated at 425 hp (317 kW), as a
US$2,250 option (when the base Bonneville listed at US$3,349)

cam. What a great Sunday cruiser.Don't miss your opportunity to own
