PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 1958

Frank has on his hands a real full size: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, a magnificent car and Frank  say that could be  better  than a Caddy.

Unique combination of a sports car and a luxury car, it seems strange to say so for a car so huge but it was 58 and everything was huge.
A machine with a fresh and youthful design able to amaze a large owners  (a pact to have a well-garnished wallet n.d.r)  

Painted two tone: Mallard torquoise iridescent poly (dark) and Marlin torquoise for the sides give a chromatic combination of the favorites of Frank, even the interior has the same color, with the central coating type sport.

 Under the hood  the 300-hp tri-power pulses angrily, so much so that the car can be played at sporting speed despite its weight

The car is perfect with plenty of options: two-tone leather interior, radio, air conditioning, double mirrors and a continental kit so as to make it exceed five meters; rims with white band tires, antenna on the rear fender, this is a sport also by virtue of the name it bears.

 

A true blaze of chrome that brings us back to the 50 years of luxury and opulence, those that few could afford but this is also America.

CHEVROLET CHEVELLE 1971

 

 

 

For this project we’re started from a Welly diecast Chevelle 1971, the main idea was to modify a convertible into a fastback version…a model not yet on production.

 

The big work it was adding a new roof and guess the right dimension!

 

 

Frank in the restoration has thought a streamlined and essential line without too many frills.

Painted in burnt Orange the car is really beautiful as an Arizona sunset.

 

easy and simply the black interiors

 

Watching it you look at the respect in a car that can still be coming up keeping it with 365 hp.

The hood pins configure this Chevelle a real SS.
