Probably could be whatever the marketing department wanted it to be. I think the term has been used by several manufacturers for different things. Seems like Olds and Buick had the Vista Cruiser wagons with the little roof windows above the quarter windows. But I think that was only in the intermediate size cars and not full size. Not sure about Bonneville but anything could be possible.

A "VISTA" is referring to the roof line on a 4 door car. 1959, '60 and maybe 1961. '61 I'm not sure about?

The rear window is a big wrap around window. I think the body style was used on 4 door cars with or without the central pillar.

On a '65 (and up) it refers to a 4DRHT (pillarless) roofline only

Definately not a 2dr body style.

No trim line. No logo.
