1958 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe Hardtop & Tri-Power Engine on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@ronsmith5569]

In the fall of 1957, my family took delivery of a 1958 Star Chief Custom Safari in these exact colors. The Custom Safari was this car in wagon form. Same trim, same chrome, same dash, same carpet, same gas filler secret. My father was in the Air Force and every two years he ordered a new high end Pontiac from Joy Motors in Emmett, Idaho. Having grown up in Emmett (His Dad, my Grand Dad, was Chief of Police for way to many years) the family would go on vacation or re-assignment via Emmett for Grandma's incredible pies and delivery of fresh off the factory assembly line, the newest and nicest. Thank you for sparking vivid memory cells of my earlier years.

The ‘58 Bonneville is my “All Time Favorite Car”… You just can’t beat the looks. I was a hitchhiker for 2 years before buying my first car and the man around the corner had one - jet black. I made it a point to be at the corner as he come by to go to work.

[@loucostabile]

Maybe I shouldn't mention this, but I had the greatest opportunity any 14 year old could ever have. My dad took me down to LAX airport unbeknown to me, I had to drive my uncle's 58' pontiac just like this one, I drove it down to Torrance, Ca. which if you live in the area isn't very far from LAX airport, but for a 14 year old it was far enough, but that 53 years ago. I really love all the details of this car and the chrome work, AWESOME! Wish I had one :(

[@loucostabile]

Hi Antonio Gomez, Clearly a memory that lasts a life time :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou

[@opera93]

Antonio Gomez thanks, for mentioning this... these Pontiacs were King Cars when I was starting to Drive .. Classmate had a 57 Pontiac loaded......Factory..interestingly, my first “ fast” cars were the SD 421/1962, (?) Pontiacs at our Garage hang out, going to and from US30/ Bunke4 Hull Drags, etc,

Easily America’s most handsomely styled automobile for model year 1958. And paced the Indy 500 that year. The two tone colors here truly hit home. Tri power manifold always provides ample acceleration. This machine is flat out gorgeous!

I just LOVE these '50s "Rocket-age" cars- true American art-forms! I'm from UK and can (just) remember the American influence on our own li'l cars of that era but your's are the real deal. That Pontiac is beautiful with all the detail built in to it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@leeandadaelliott]

What a beast! I bet it doesn't get over 15 miles to the gallon. But back in '58 that kind of mileage didn't matter since gas could be had for about 25 cents per gallon. I was in the Army when I owned my big V8 Bonneville so the joke was, the tank was rusty above a dollar's worth.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Lee Elliott, Thank you for viewing and sharing :-) Sounds like great times with your V8 Bonneville, Lou

This was always my favorite Pontiac. My Aunt Gladys had a green Catalina in 1961. Beautiful car. She took my brother and I for a ride in it and hit 100 mph in no time. While traveling out west pulling a travel trailer, Gladys was driving too fast again. The trailer fish tailed, she lost control and destroyed everything.

That is one sexy machine, and the two-tone colors are revving my boyish admiration engine. I was born in the early 1970's so I grew up with the cars of that era and the 1980's, but OMG, the cars of the 1950's are like rolling museums to me. If I ever get the chance to own a 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe Hardtop I will DEFINITELY pounce on that chance! Now I see why my dad loves cars so much. He grew up riding in these as a kid. I am green with envy!!

The fuel injected 57 Bonneville convertible and the 58 Tri Power Bonneville are two of my favorite 1950's cars. They were one of the fastest cars you could buy at that time. The 59's are cool too because it was the first year of the 389 engine, the split grille, and the Wide Track stance. But they're much bigger and heavier than the 57 and 58. The 1959 GM cars are probably the biggest cars I've ever seen in my life. I like the 1957-58 Oldsmobile J2 Tri Power cars too. But I'm a Mopar guy so my favorite 1950's cars are the 1958 Chrysler 300 and the 1957 Dodge Coronet D-501...a car which only really hardcore Mopar guys know about. It was Dodge's NASCAR homologation special that year and came equipped with a Chrysler 354 Hemi rated at 355 horsepower...the same engine that was optional in the 1956 Chrysler 300B. They only built 56 D-501's in 1957. A super rare Mopar factory race car. There is one in Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum

In 1958 it seemed that all of GM's big cars, Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Cadillac had that same hood stance. We had a '58 Buick and that is the first thing I recognize when I see these beautiful old classics. And actually, there is probably more metal in one of those hoods than you'll find in an entire cookie cutter car of today. Back then cars had real styling and class.

The Forgotten Pontiac. The '58 was the start of Pontiac's climb to performance dominance...Tri-Power? Got it. Want Fuel Injection? Got that too. It wasn't said, but did this car have the Reverb speaker option for the rear speaker? For noobs, the speaker had a slight delay, which gave the sound real presence in the car. But this is a hell of a Pontiac. I wonder where the fuel-injected convertible (same colors) I saw in Harrisburg PA in the early 60s is today?

[@loucostabile]

Hi caribman10, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Not sure where that car ended up. Hope we see it on this KZbin Channel someday. Lou

I had an uncle that had a car just like this same color and everything. He ran it off a bridge at Port Isabel (South Padre Island), in June 1964. he was doing about 85 MPH and running from the Police. They never found the car or him. It may still be sitting in the bottom of the gulf.

[@loucostabile]

Interesting story! Thank you for sharing.

@@loucostabile If I'm not mistaken the original exhaust did exit through the rear bumper of these cars.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dave S., I've been taught by the best, I'm married :-) So did you like the car? Lou

[@Davids-fb9ub]

@@loucostabile loved it man lol! Currently I'm 23 but I have a vision for a future...a 1957 chevy or 56 ford in my garage...but these 50s cars always fascinated me! Like I would say when they started adding fins in the back. Like mid 50s...you don't see cars like these anymore! Like today's cars are cool like the sports cars...but nothing compared to these...maybe in the future when I'm older I'll own one! Which will happen! It will!
