'58 Bonneville...reliving my teens
When I was 17, growing up in Baltimore, I bought my first car - a 5-year old '58 Bonneville convertible. Paid $1000 for it. The car was equipped with a Tri-Power 370 engine, leather bench interior, and more chrome than one thought possible. I don't have any pictures of it (weird, I know, but I can't explain why) but it looked like this:
It was wrecked in 1966 (not my fault - it was parked), and I've always wanted another like it. So... thanks to a tip from my friend "Bonneville" Joe Evans in Texas (a fellow 2+2 enthusiast), I found this one on Long Island, NY: Another item checked off the bucket list.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
