I remember at age 13 seeing my mom's boss pull up in his new 1960 Pontiac Bonneville convertible in this same color and thought at the time it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen !! and it still looks just as good today to my eyes !!.

I love these videos showing cars you would most likely NEVER see on the road. I remember back in the 1970's and 1980's seeing cars like this but it soon faded. Admittedly I never really appreciated these cars but came to admire them in all their glory. And they are glorious. My hat's off to those that have kept them alive. Keep it up Lou Costabile! Love the channel.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Hans, You're right, these cars faded quickly. My pleasure sharing with you. I appreciate your encouraging words, Lou

My early memories were walking around my grandfather's car in his driveway in New Brunswick, NJ. He had this type of car. My eyes were at the level of the white lights below the tail lights. His was a 4 door. This one is more amazing. I was about 4 years old at the time.

Beautiful Bonneville, Lou. We are all so amazed with this car today...think back to the day in 1959 when they were first delivered to the dealership. All anyone had to do was go downtown to the dealership and buy one. Today, they are all but gone. So beautiful. I'll take one in green, please! Thumbs up.

George has a beautiful car. My Grandpa had a red like that one two door hardtop Bonneville. He had the seats covered in thick clear plastic uncomfortable and noisey seat covers as was the furniture in his living room haha. It was SUCH a beautiful car. He replaced it later with a silver/grey '67 or '68 Bonneville four door hardtop. It was a beauty and powerful but never seemed as cool to me as the '60. I remember a GTO ad in the magazines that said "LET GO OF THE GRAB BAR CHARLIE, YOU'R TEARIN' OUT THE DASH!" You mentioned in the video about "body rock". When you revved those Pontiac engines the torque rocked the entire car over to the right. My first car was a '64 GTO 4speed.

Guys, the 389 cubic inch engine was called the Tempest 425 because it made 425 foot lbs of torque. Came with a 2 barrel carb, or a Carter AFB 4 barrel and top of the option list was three 2 barrels called Tripower.

Just happened to see one of your videos earlier this morning and I’ve already watched 5 more since then… I’m hooked! Following your page now! Love all the old classics and you have very good taste in what you’re deciding to show us! These old Pontiacs are beauts (especially the 59 Bonneville, which is one of my favorite vehicles of all time). Keep the videos coming! You now have a new fan… drooling over all the wonderful vehicles you highlight! I have a 1962 International Scout 80 (I’ve owned for over 20 years now)… if you ever come across an old International, I’d love to see it!

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

Production of the 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible was 17,062 units. GM was successful in selling convertibles at that time. Air conditioning was becoming more common in Cadillacs and Lincolns at that time...but it was an expensive $430 option in a Pontiac. Bonnevilles in 1960 had genuine walnut inserts and available leather upholstery...both very deluxe features in a medium priced car. Aluminum hubs and drums were a $107 option. The 1960 Pontiac lineup was Catalina, Ventura (basically a deluxe trimmed Catalina only sold as a separate model in both 1960 and 1961...then available afterwards as a trim option but not as a separate model), Star Chief (leftover model name from the 1950s that persisted until 1966), and Bonneville. Big Pontiacs were popular in Canada but used the shorter Chevrolet chassis, smaller Chevrolet engines, and narrow track (but used the same fenders, trim, etc.). Before 1959, Pontiac had a reputation as a rather dull, if somewhat overstyled car. But the limited production 1957 Bonneville and the wide-track 1959 models changed that image. This example has Coronado Red paint.

Those beautiful illustrations in that brochure were done by Art Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman, otherwise known as "Fitz and Van." They did Pontiac's advertising illustrations too, from 1959-1972, and they made the cars look even lower and wider and in beautiful settings too. A totally unique look in advertising. Thanks for featuring this 1960 Bonneville.

I think their advertising account with Pontiac ended with the 1971 models. Afterwards, they illustrated with Opel in Europe for a few more years. Before Pontiac they illustrated for Buick from 1954 to 1956.

Gorgeous car, Lou. I don't think I could get that thing in my garage, it's likely way too long!! Love the retractable soft-top. This era's convertibles were a true work of brilliant engineering. By comparison, I have a 2020 Mazda Miata Soft-Top. There's a clasp in the center of the roofline that you un-clasp and shove the entire top back and down in seconds. It's not as elegant as these older cars but efficient and quick. Of course the Miata is a midget by comparison and so much easier to design a system around that would do this. I love 50's/early 60's cars. If I only had room for one more... ;)

Man that is a beautiful car, in a beautiful color.. the 389 four barrel was a pretty good Engine 333 horsepower, and 425 ft lb of torque.. in 1960 that was the big dog engine next to the tri-power which had 430 ft pounds of torque and 348 horsepower.. they didn't come out with the 421 until 1964. I had a 1967 Grand Prix with the 421 and tri-power, that car could really melt tires. Thanks a lot Lou that is just a beautiful example of 1960s automobile art.

Ese tono de rojo junto a esas bellas líneas cromadas que recorren toda su carroseria lo hacen lucir espectacular! El interior ni hablar, con esa tapicería y su panel de instrumentos en madera con ornamentos cromados. Me gustó la revisión que hiciste del catálogo en su maletero. Ahí se pudo apreciar que también se lo ofrecía en un color verde La verdad que también le quedaría maravilloso ese color, jeje. ¡Excelente video, y saludos cordiales!

Hi Jaime, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Thank you for sharing the details you enjoy, Lou

[@fob1xxl]

Love the car, but miss the '59 tail fins and the split grill ! I guess others missed the split grill too because in 1961 they brought it back and with horizontal taillights once again.

This car looks far better than it did when it rolled off of the assembly line.

[@aldente2676]

How do you know? Were you there or did you build it?

[@matrox]

@@aldente2676 Good question.🤔

[@aldente2676]

Cranberry red is a great GM color. Pontiac was selling narrow tracks in Canada which were Pontiac bodies mounted on Chevrolet frames. What's nice about those Pontiac V-8 blöcks is that all of them from the 326 to the 455 were externally identical. Which means, you could swap the weakling 389 connected to a hydramatic with a 455 connected to a Turbo Hydramatic 400 without anyone noticing a visual difference, while harvesting generous Brake-torque burn-outs

[@richardrice8076]

You could but why would you? Stock is where it's at, 389 a weakling?

[@bobbybishop368]

I wouldn't call the 389 a weakling. There's more to a great automobile than the capability to do burnouts.

Hi Al Dente, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@aldente2676]

@@bobbybishop368 Not in my book. For me, it would be like getting married and thereafter just sitting there holding hands and nothing more. A 389 will move that car. But has been known for moving G.T.O.s even better

[@bobbybishop368]

@@aldente2676 you can only drive so fast without breaking the law. 389's are plenty powerful enough to go the speed limit and then some. What more do you want ? People like you are the reason I sometimes fear to drive on public roads.
