The Pontiac Bonneville was Pontiac’s costliest and most luxurious model throughout the 1960s. It played an important part in the introduction of two of Pontiac’s greatest marketing inspirations — the split grille and the Wide Track slogan. The latter was not just ad copy, either, as Pontiac pushed its wheels further out toward the fenders than anyone else and created what were considered to be the best-cornering full-size cars in the industry.
Today’s Bonneville photo comes from the albums of tobym.
Be sure to look at all of tobym’s photos and our other albums. And if you would like to recommend your favorite photo with a GM car or truck in it, put it up on Flickr and tag it with “gmfyi.”

I remember the Bonneville in the early to mid 70’s and thought it was beautiful, as was its less expensive sister, the Catalina.
