1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham Coupe

The Pontiac Bonneville is an automobile built by Pontiac from 1957 until 2005. Bonnevilles were full-sized, with the exception of a brief period of mid-size between 1982 and 1986. The brand was introduced as a limited production performance convertible during the 1957 model year. The Bonneville (known as the Parisienne in Canada until 1981), and its platform partner, the Grand Ville, are some of the largest Pontiacs ever built; in station wagon body styles they reached just over 230 inches (5.8 m) long, and at 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) and more were also some of the heaviest cars produced at the time.

The name was taken from the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, the site of much early auto racing and most of the world’s land speed record runs, which was named in turn after U.S. Army officer Benjamin Bonneville.

1981 Pontiac Bonneville has an enjoyable COUPE 2-DR body style. It is manufactured in Canada. The car has 3 variations available for its customers. The engine type is 5.7L V8 OHV 16V DIESEL. The wheel of the vehicle’s axle are RWD driveline. 1981 Pontiac Bonneville has had 0 recall in the past 41 years.

A spectacular museum piece with all power, leather, sunroof and cornering lamps as well as the factory aluminum wheels. The factory gauges package – it was always possible to miss an option box.  Still, a very stunning Pontiac.

Detroit was running out of steam. Pontiacs had lost their way and become showboats for oldsters. Auto-excitement had gone elsewhere. Still, this would be a solid road car for the Great American Wide Open. This is 1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham Coupe.
