Default 1966 Bonneville
A few pictures of my family's old 1966 Bonneville, taken when it was brand new. This was my mom & dad's first new car, and it's responsible for my long time love of Pontiacs. Purchased in State College, PA, and sold in Springfield, VA in 1979. I have no idea if it survived...

The second picture is mom and me - I was about 1-1/2 years old at the time.

I found these two on Facebook from a "That 70's Page". The first one is at McDonald's in Laredo TX in 1977. The second is of Peaches Records and Tapes; unsure where and exact year. I posted these since they had Pontiac's in them.

Yes, I remember this time. It seems like everywhere you went, someone had plaid pants.

Peaches records and tapes was on Brookpark and Pearl in Cleveland, about half a mile from Lou Meleska Pontiac.

Imagine an original car like that sitting out in the snow now! Not likely.
