This is a totally original 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. This is a real Bonneville, not a Chieftain conversion. All the options on this car came on this car. None of them were added. So many of the Bonneville convertibles that you see now were basic cars originally. Most of them were bench seat, 4-barrel, Power Steering, Power Brakes and standard radio. It seems that they are now bucket seat, tri power, Sportable or Wonder Bar Radio, Power Windows, Antenna and even Factory Air. Several have been converted to Fuel Injection. This car came with every major option with the exception of factory air. It has bucket seats, tri power (with original air cleaner), Sportable Radio, Power Steering, Brakes, Windows, Antenna and Spinner Wheel covers. It came Deauville Blue with a Cashmere Blue Spear and light blue top with a blue liner. These are absolutely stunning colors. From the best I can tell, it is 100% original paint. It had the original top on it when I bought it but was threadbare and I removed what was left of it. The interior had been redone in button and tuck which was popular back in the day. I removed that and the original leather was still intact underneath. There wasn;t much left of the original sparkle carpet and I threw it away. I believe the car to be 100% complete. I have the Power Antenna and long rocker moldings which are not presently on the car. The car has beautiful floors, trunk and lower body. There is a very small amount of rust on the passenger side rear quarter. I mean small. I am the third owner. I know nothing about the original owner but the second owner who I bought the car from bought it in 1960. He drove it until 1972 when he said it was running rough and thinking it needed a timing chain and gear (old Pontiacs were notorious for that), he put it in his basement and it sat there until I bought it in 2006. (34 years) The car was in Ogden Utah. I am selling this car because I have 5 - 58 Bonnevilles (3 convertibles which are all tri power, bucket seat cars and 2 hardtops which are low mileage fuel injected cars. At my age (69) I don't know that I'll get around to restoring it and I have 11 other cars in addition to the 58's. I feel like it is time to downsize a little bit. This car is not cheap and I don't have to sell it. However, I challenge you to find a more complete, higher option , more solid 58 bonneville convertible to restore. I'll be glad to discuss the car with anyone who has an interest. My name is Joe Evans and my home phone is 409-938-0780. I encourage anyone who is interested to fly down and view it in person. I live 35 miles south of Houston. You would fly in to Houston Hobby. I'll be glad to pick you up , take you to see the car, and return you to the airport.

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic

Tue, May 31 2016

A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
