1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham

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. But compared it to, say, this 1962 Pontiac Parisienne? Dullsville.

  1. The car in the pictures above is a 1978 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham Coupe not a 1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham Coupe you can tell by the grill, body style and the taillights.
