For Sale: 1960 Pontiac Bonneville in Rancho Mirage, California

1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

Immerse yourself in the charm of mid-century motoring with this elegant 1960 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. The white exterior and fully-functioning power-retractable soft top are beautifully contrasted with a tri-color red vinyl upholstery and matching red carpet. 

The 2nd-generation Pontiac Bonneville was available for the 1959-1960 model years in a variety of body styles, all fitted with a V8 engine. It was the first Pontiac to have the wide-track system. Three (3) second-generation Bonnevilles have sold this year for an average price of $54,000. 

This beautiful convertible is powered by a Pontiac 389ci V8 engine and a column-shifted three-speed automatic transmission. It’s equipped with power windows, brakes, and steering. The rare Kelsey-Hayes eight-lug, fourteen-inch wheels are accentuated with rear fender skirts (not currently installed, but included with the sale). The 5-digit odometer reads 29,313 miles – believed to be actual mileage by the owner.

Located in Rancho Mirage, California, this car was purchased by the current owner just over a year ago. He has driven it just over 100 miles and unfortunately has to part with it due to a change in personal situation. It is being represented in this sale by Robert Lewis of CLASSIC.COM.
