1965 Bonneville Brougham trip to Tucson
Back in 1985, I was planning to move out to Tucson, AZ, but needed a bigger car than my Monte Carlo. I found this awesome 65 Bonneville Brougham 4 door hardtop for sale in the Detroit area and bought it on the spot for $650. It was from Florida and was absolutely loaded for a car from that era. I did some maintenance on it and loaded it up with everything I owned and set off for Tucson, by myself. My parents were nervous, this was a 20 year old car. I left near the end of July and averaged 15 miles per gallon with the A/C cranking and didn't have any problems at all. I still miss that car and would love to get it back someday, if possible.
