Summer-Ready Stunner: 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

In 1960, Pontiac was riding high on a wave of success, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Bunkie Knudson. Knudson had taken the reins at Pontiac in the late 1950s, with a vision to transform the brand into a performance powerhouse. By 1960, his hard work had paid off, with Pontiac dominating on the racetrack and in showrooms across America. And the Bonneville, a luxurious line-topper that epitomized the division's style and performance, was the crown jewel of the lineup.

This stunning 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is a testament to that legacy, offering a perfect blend of elegance and power that continues to captivate enthusiasts to this day. The car's Coronado Red Metallic paint is a true head-turner, with a depth and richness that suggests a quality respray at some point in its history. Chrome accents and trim pieces abound, from the twin-grille front end to the stylish rear bumper, all of them gleaming like new. And when the sun's out, you'll appreciate the ease with which the power convertible top goes up and down, allowing you to enjoy top-down motoring at a moment's notice.

Under the hood, the Bonneville's heart beats with the power of a 389 cubic inch V8, which gulps fuel through a Carter four-barrel carburetor. When paired with the optional Hydra-Matic transmission, as seen in this particular car, the engine produces an impressive 303 horsepower. If equipped with the standard Synchromesh manual transmission, the output is still a respectable 281 horsepower. Regardless of the transmission, this engine has the power to back up the Bonneville's bold looks and deliver a thrilling driving experience.

The Bonneville also features power steering and power drum brakes, providing a level of comfort and control that was cutting-edge for its time. These advanced features, combined with the car's Wide Track stance, ensure a confident and stable driving experience that still holds up today. This particular Bonneville rides on a set of 14" Pontiac spinner flipper bar hubcaps, a stylish period-correct touch that perfectly complements the whitewall tires and adds to the car's overall vintage charm.

Inside, the original Morrokide interior is nothing short of a revelation. Remarkably, this interior is the very same one that left the factory floor over six decades ago, and it presents in astonishingly well-preserved condition. The seats are plush and inviting, offering both comfort and support for those long, leisurely drives. The dashboard is a work of art, with its intricate design and chrome details serving as a reminder of the craftsmanship that defined the era.

Best of all, with a scant 41,520 miles on the odometer, this Bonneville is just getting started. Few cars of this era can claim such low mileage, and it's a testament to the care and dedication this Pontiac has received over the years. For the discerning collector, this is an opportunity to acquire a true time capsule, a rolling embodiment of an era when style and performance went hand in hand.

If you're ready to experience the thrill of piloting a true American classic, look no further than this 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. With its potent 389 cubic inch V8, smooth Hydra-Matic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and classic 14" Pontiac spinner flipper bar hubcaps with whitewall tires, this is a car that ticks all the boxes. And with its stunning Coronado Red Metallic paint, original Morrokide interior, and easy-to-operate power convertible top, it's a feast for the eyes as well. Get behind the wheel, and prepare to be transported back to a time when the open road beckoned, and the journey was just as important as the destination.
