1967 Pontiac Bonneville
A good friend of mine growing up inherited his folks in 77 and he disappeared for the winter in his garage and taught himself auto mechanics. Because we lived in the Rust Belt someone nicknamed it the Bondoville. Come spring he took me on a country drive and he got that sucker up to 140mph. He said it would go faster but he didn't trust the tires, which was fine by me. That 389 must be a good motor, that's what Mickey Thompson used to hit 400 mph. His next build would be a Demon 340. He was no John Milner but dang close to it.

Pontiac Bonneville Custom Convertible, 1959. The second generation Bonneville marked two important milestones for Pontiac. As well as becoming a full line with hardtop sedan and wagons (previously the Bonneville had only been available as a coupe or convertible) it introduced the split grille and the "Wide Track" slogan. The Wide Track wasn't just ad copy, it had a front tread width of 63.7in and rear tread at 64in as opposed to other GM products with a 61in width front and rear. In doing so, Pontiac created what were considered to be the best-cornering full-size cars in the industry. Both features remained central to the Pontiac brand up until it's demise

Pontiac Bonneville Limited Sedan Concept
What if... Pontiac was still in production and made a mid-luxury series with the old names. In this scenario, the Bonneville would be the full sized sedan in the series with an estate version as well. This series would be oriented more for comfort than performance, and to keep up with the industry, would feature a V6 hybrid platform with all wheel drive option.
