Minneapolis Street Sightings: Pontiac Bonneville two door









Now here's something you don't see everyday-- a nice fullsize Pontiac. Granted the Daytons aren't stock wheels, they do suit the car pretty well. Seen sitting amass a group of rusted out 1990s Ford products, this Poncho caught my attention pretty fast. As a crept closer, I realized this was a two door, not a sedan, as I thought it would be. At first glance, the Pontiac seems a bit blingy, but once you get closer, the blinginess doesn't matter. What matters is the overall condition of the car. I chatted with the owner for a bit and he confirmed the originality of the car; it has 52,580 original miles of this writing. The paint is spotless, and the interior isn't in bad shape either. At least it has the correct steering wheel instead of the oh-so-common Grant piece. The Daytons aren't bad either. I cannot picture this car with Pontiac hubcaps; somehow it seems..wrong? Now for the task of trying to find its Caprice two door kin.
