1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

Description

Introduced as a standalone model for the 1958 model year, the Bonneville represented the top of Pontiac's full-size lineup, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and a long list of luxury appointments. For '59 and '60, the Bonneville featured sweeping rear quarter styling and extensive chrome trim, helping establish it as one of the division's flagship offerings during the height of Detroit's styling era. The 1959 model also introduced Pontiac's signature "Wide-Track" stance, which pushed the wheels further outward to improve handling and center of gravity. 

Acquired by the seller in 2026, this 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is powered by a 389ci V8 equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red with a power-operated white convertible top over red and white upholstery, the car is equipped with 14-inch steel wheels fitted with chrome covers and whitewall tires, a dual exhaust system, and an AM radio. 

Prior to the seller's acquisition, this Bonneville is said to have benefited from mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment completed circa 2015, including rebuilding the carburetor and power steering system, servicing the brakes, replacing fluids, and performing exterior detailing.

This 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is now offered with an owner's guide and a clean Ohio title in the seller's name.
