I've got project 1959 Bonneville convertible as well as a 62 Bonneville convertible both waiting quietly in the wings

After seeing Steves '59 hardtop all finished ,,,,,,,my '59 will probably be a this winter project .

I also have a second 60 convertible I am not sure what I am going to do with

And in case no ones noticed,,,I buy only convertibles. I have a passion for big open cars

Nice Line-up Bill!

I've been really "eyeballing" a '60 Bonneville hardtop I have yet to restore. After seeing a beautiful his & hers pair of '60s @ a car show this past weekend, I'm thinking that may be one of my winter projects.

Great thread.

Back in the day when Detroit just went wild.

Our first "New" car was a 1961 Impala. 2 door hardtop. I think the tag was around $2400. Not the

"biggest" GM, but these excellent "big" GM builds here brought back memories.

I was 4 at the time.

At age 6, we went to Canada in it.

From Alabama...to Canada.

At night time driving, me and my Brother would swap out sleeping. One on the back seat, and one on the "hat rack" above, under that giant back glass. Wind flowing from Dad "cracking" the window.

Keep the pics coming...I may dream some more.
