I bought a beautiful 1966 Pontiac Bonneville 2dr HT with the fancy Brougham Edition and 90k original miles.
It's a very rust free car and build in Southgate, CA. One Repaint but matching numbers drive train (389ci & TH400) and original Interior. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can someone tell me, how many 2dr Broughams were ordered and how many WITHOUT an Cordova Vinyl Top. Thanks guys. Piot |

Wow, beauty! Colors are awesome. You can probably get the Brougham #s but not the Cordova top?

Wow! What a beauty. Love the color. As said, it must have spent most of it's life in a nice cool garage in CA. Those black AC dash pads are almost always cracked beyond recognition if left in the hot sun 50+ years. Yours looks to just be a little puffy around the center vent. Fantastic!!

Now that is one gorgeous Bonneville. Great find too.
![]() We need more photos of it... front, rear, backseat, and under the hood too. ![]() Use this site for your photos.... www.imgur.com It's free and no add-ons like I see with Photobucket these days. Just make an account and then upload your photos. Then use BBCode (message boards & forums) for the image links on the next page that appears when you click on the image you want to post. Really simple to use once you get used to how it works. It's all I use now and I love it.

Awesome car. It's begging for a set of 8 lugs!

8-lugs can add up to a large expense, but can't deny the cool factor. I think your car has what were called the "deluxe" wheel covers. A set of factory spinners or even the factory wire wheel covers would dress it up a little. Looks great the way it is too.

Pretty car. The '66 Bonneville coupe my folks had when I was a kid is responsible for my love of Pontiacs...
I don't recall the original A/C dash pads having any stitching on them. Has this one been redone?

I've got a real nice set of 67 B body spinners that are just dying for a new home. Wouldn't be technically correct for your year but they are classy looking (IMO). Just throw that out there. Very classy Bonneville.... love that interior color!

That's one of the most "gangster" Pontiacs I've seen. What a nice ride.
Congrats on the purchase.

Ok, I figured out with Imgur. Thanks for the tip @GT181.
Just the photos get posted so big here. ![]() The car just came off the truck so she's pretty dusty. Timeline wise It went from Montana to Nebraska, then Iowa and now back in Cali where it was also build. ![]() Just never heard of a Brougham with no Vinyl top tho. It's super rust free and runs very nice. Luckily the seller kept the original Manifold, Carb, Distributor and Air Cleaner so I will put back the original stuff asap.
