1959 Pontiac Bonneville

Features

• 1959 Pontiac Bonneville
• Begun By Cadillac In The Late Forties, Tail Fins Were Adopted By Nearly All Domestic And Even Numerous Foreign Manufacturers, Including Mercedes Benz. By 1959, The Fin Craze Reached Its Zenith With Some Truly Outlandish Offerings--Who Could Forget Chevrolet's "Bat Wings" Or Plymouth's Shark Fins? Pontiac Employed Relatively Conservative Dual Fin Styling All During The 50S, But Even They Couldn't Resist The Trend, Entering The Jet Age With Their 220-Inch Behemoth Sporting Outrageously Long Quarter Panels Sprouting Twin Fins Left And Right!
• The Biggest News From The Pontiac Division Was The Implementation Of Their New Wide Track Design, Though. Whereas The Cars Gained 3 Inches Of Width, The Tire Track Moved A Full 6 Inches Apart. Combined With Pontiac's Gyro Level Ride, The Resulting Handling Improvement Prompted Motor Trend Magazine To Proclaim The Big Pontiac 1959S "Car Of Theyear."
• Pontiac's King Of The Hill Was The Fully Equipped Bonneville Model, Like The One Prominently Featured Here. 27,769 Custom 2-Door Hardtops Left The Factory Gates In '59; Unfortunately, Very Few Have Survived.
