Default '59 Bonneville convertible on BaT

You don't see these everyday!
Factory air too. What a neat car!

The star attraction is those bucket seats - they were exceedingly rare and are worth thousands all on their own. I like the individual air cleaners (I run them on my own car) but it's too bad it's missing the original single large air cleaner.

The auction ended today and the car sold for $81K. I thought this was a bargain for the buyer. I expected it would go a lot higher than that. To me this a very special car and has to be ultra rare. It blew me away when I saw it had factory air.
