Pontiac Bonneville Coupé (1959)

Louis Kalendruschat

Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

This Pontiac Bonneville is a classic road cruiser: with a total length of 5.63 meters, a 6.4-liter V8 engine, a continuous front bench seat, and no B-pillar, this coupe embodies American driving culture in its purest form. The well-maintained vehicle was last serviced in May 2025 and also features a sealed underbody. This rare Pontiac is probably one of a kind in Europe!

      Technik: 1958 war der Bonneville nun auch mit den regulären Vergaser-Motoren der Marke lieferbar. Als Extra konnte der Motor mit drei Registervergasern (Tripower genannt) für 93,50 USD bestückt werden und leistete dann 300 bhp bei 4600 min−1 oder mit der noch erhältlichen Rochester-Einspritzung für 500 USD, welche dann eine Leistung von 310 bhp bei 4800 min−1 bereitstellte. Zum Cabriolet für 3586 US-Dollar kam ein Hardtop-Coupé für 3481 USD hinzu, bei dem die B-Säule fehlte. Es wurden im Modelljahr 3096 Cabriolets und 3586 Coupés verkauft. Das Modelljahr erhielt dem Zeitgeschmack folgend vier Frontscheinwerfer analog zu den anderen GM-Marken. Ein stärkerer X-förmiger Rohrrahmen erlaubte einen tieferen Einstieg. Die Federung erhielt vorn neue Kugelgelenke, für die Hinterachsfederung war als Extra eine „Ever-Level“ genannte Luftfederung verfügbar. Die Motorisierung des Bonneville basierte auf dem Star Chief, das Fahrwerk wurde vom kürzeren Pontiac Chieftain verwendet. LG Tom
