Description for Pontiac Bonneville 1963

First introduced in 1957, the Bonneville was a large full size flagship car sold by Pontiac and spanned 10 generations over nearly 50 years. The third generation example was sold from 1961 to 1964 and was one of the largest and most luxurious Pontiacs ever offered. WIth the most standard features, the largest available powertrains, and distinctive brand styling cues, the third generation was enough to propel Pontiac to third place in the sales race. GR Auto Gallery is pleased... to present this very rare 1963 Bonneville for your consideration.
