RE Pontiac:
One of my cars that I picked up for cheap - 1975 Pontiac Bonneville, four-door. 46K original miles, still had the rear wheel skirts on it. Blue, with black Landau roof.
200 bucks, from my friend’s Grandma, who wanted it OUT of the garage (grandpop passed away). It was a tank, but I loved that big car ride. That was around 1986 or so. Gas wasn’t awful yet, but that thing was thirsty (400 cu in engine, four barrel carb).
Have a 1992 Bonneville SE in the driveway right now. Needs some work, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. It’s NOT a muscle car, but I love the ride. Nice for the summer.
Bonnie’s were a nice ride ... little sway in a faster turn, but a nice, smooth ride.
I had a 1973 Chrysler Newport in the late 80s. They had started downsizing cars by then and the Newport was a beast. I was at the gas station one day and I guy came up to me and said “that sure is a big car”. LOL Yes, it was. You could put several bodies in the trunk of that thing. I hate the new small cars.
