1958 Pontiac Bonneville

Run Day - Saturday May 31, 2025 This 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is a factory tri-power example with a great story. Mr. Peter Balasis ordered this Kasmir Blue and White Bonneville new from Clark Pontiac in Elm Grove, West Virginia as a birthday present for himself. After 11 years of owning the car he sold it to his brother who just got his drivers license in 1969. After a few years his son sold the car to a friend in Indiana. Many years went by and Mr. Balasis kept thinking about the Bonneville he owned when he was a young man. He tracked down the gentleman his brother sold the car to in Indiana but was told he sold the car to another individual in Lake Forest, Illinois. He then got in contact with the owner but was told the car was not for sale at the time but he would be the first person he would call when he decided to sell. The call came in 1989 that the Bonneville was for sale and Mr. Balasis said he had to buy his Bonnie back and he did. The car then went in for a full frame off restoration where every nut and bolt was meticulously restored to factory condition. The car was then reconditioned again by Mr. Balasis himself in 2000 going to a base coat clear coat then the lacquer paint that was done in 1990. The car had been in his care up until this year and has never been offered for sale since. The Bonneville runs and drives outstanding! The engine, carburetors and transmission were all rebuilt. This car features leather interior, a factory continental kit, very rare spotlight mirror, correct T3 headlights, white wall tires, AM radio, power antenna and power convertible top with matching boot. The engine compartment and undercarriage have been highly detailed. This Bonneville has won numerous national shows, was featured on the cover of cars and parts magazine and won GM Carlisle Nationals in 2003. Only 3,096 Bonneville convertibles were produced in 1958 making this one of the pinnacle GM cars of the 1950s. Photo book of restoration and awards are included in the sale. You do not want to miss this wonderful example.
