This 1957 Pontiac Bonneville represents one of the most exclusive
and technologically advanced American automobiles of the 1950s-one
of only 630 produced, with just one sent to each Pontiac dealer in
the United States, plus two prototypes built for internal use. As
Pontiac's halo car for 1957, the Bonneville showcased engineering
innovation, luxury features, and limited-production prestige that
placed it among the most sought-after models of its era then-and
now.
At its heart is the factory 347 cubic-inch Rochester fuel-injected
V8, rated at 315 horsepower, making the Bonneville one of the
earliest American production cars to feature fuel injection. Paired
with the 3-speed Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic automatic transmission,
the car delivered exceptional power and smooth drivability that
stood apart from its contemporaries. Pontiac built this flagship
convertible to be loaded, and it remains one of the most
"power-accessory" vehicles ever produced in the '50s.
Finished in its striking factory-correct Fontaine Blue with Kenya
Ivory inserts, the Bonneville presents with a timeless two-tone
color scheme that defines late-'50s design. The blue metallic and
ivory leather interior complements the exterior beautifully, while
the ivory-colored vinyl convertible top includes the Bonneville's
incredibly rare built-in interior light-a feature unique to this
limited production model. Everywhere you look, the car exudes
high-end luxury and design sophistication.
This Bonneville came equipped with nearly every available luxury
feature of the time, including power steering, power brakes, power
windows, power antenna, power convertible top, and even
power-heated seats. The interior also boasts a Wonderbar radio,
padded dash, automatic headlight dimmers, and the correct special
wheel covers, further solidifying the car's status as Pontiac's
top-tier showpiece for 1957.
The car previously resided in the well-known Al Wiseman Collection,
a testament to its quality and desirability. It benefits from a
frame-off restoration, estimated to have been completed in the late
1990s, and has been well maintained since. Recent servicing
includes a new power top motor, new starter, and a rebuilt Bendix
power brake booster, ensuring that it continues to operate as
impressively as it presents.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most collectible
Pontiacs ever produced-a beautifully finished, heavily optioned,
fuel-injected 1957 Bonneville convertible that remains a standout
example of 1950s American styling and engineering. A truly
remarkable piece of Pontiac history and an exceptional
collector-grade classic.
