Custom American ‘50’s style combined with Pontiac’s famous “Wide Track” European handling and the rare optional Tri-power 386 V8 make this classic a joy to drive as well as show. The Bonneville was the top of the line in 1959 and this extremely low miles car sets the bar even higher!
Canepa Custom
This beautiful California car has been stunningly customized with a the Canepa
“Street Rod” look, while retaining it’s classic “50’s
Fin” roots. The first of the “Wide Track” Pontiacs, this
custom was built on a very solid, totally original, and well preserved ‘59
Bonneville with only 33,000 pampered miles on the odometer.
The car had been garaged all its life and is in near perfect condition. The
original interior is showroom fresh, it has not been restored, only cleaned
and preserved. The exterior is also extremely clean, no rust or accident in
49 years!
This incredible clean original Bonneville has been customized
with a lowered Air-Ride Technologies suspension, and custom 18” front
and rear wheels by Budnik with BFGoodrich 245/40ZR 18 (front), 475/40ZR 18
radial tires. All distracting chrome emblems, mirrors, etc., were removed
and the body was completely repainted in black. An Alpine CD stereo system
was tucked out of site for listening to those great 60’s tunes, and
the 315 horsepower produced by the 389cid motor is audibly enhanced thru the
Flowmaster exhaust system.
315 Horsepower — 420 ft.lbs. @ 2800 RPM
Engine: 386cid V8 with Tri-power carburetion
0-60MPH: 8.2 seconds
Transmission: HydroMatic
Bonneville History
The year 1959 was a breakout year for Pontiac. The Bonneville played an important
part that year in the introduction of two of Pontiac’s greatest marketing
inspirations — the split grille and the Wide Track slogan. The latter
was not just ad copy, either, as Pontiac pushed its wheels further out toward
the fenders than anyone else and created what were considered to be the best-cornering
full-size cars in the industry.. 1959 also introduced new engines claimed
to be “The most Modern in the Industry”. The Tempest 420 (389
cu in) engine was available with a two-barrel, 4-barrel, or optional Tri-power
(3 2-barrel) carburetion that year. All of the motors could be coupled to
an improved Super Hydra-matic transmission.
