Vintage 1974 Pontiac Bonneville Dealer Brochure, Pontiac, Michigan

12 x 10 1/2" ~

These have never been opened by human hands beside the one I photographed.

This was a recent find I couldn't pass up. These were mint when I found them and still in the dealer banding. Unfortunately, when they were shipped to me they were dropped on the edge and have damage on the right side see pictures. Priced accordingly.

First introduced as a limited production model in 1957 as a sporty convertible. Its name is taken from the storied Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where a lot of early auto racing took place and most of the world's land speed record runs. The last Bonneville was made on May 27, 2005. RIP

The last Pontiacs, an American Icon, were built in December 2009, with one final vehicle assembled in January 2010. Pontiac was founded in 1907 in Pontiac, Michigan, by Edward Murphy, a manufacturer of horse-drawn carriages. It was named after the famous Ottawa chief, whom the city of Pontiac, Michigan was also named after, where the car was produced.

Pontiac emphasized its "Wide Track" design, it billed itself as the "performance" division of General Motors, which "built excitement. I actually used to sell Pontiacs and they were so much fun to drive!
Pontiacs were easily identified by their pointed "arrowhead" nose (in the 1960s and 1970s) or multiple horizontal-striped taillights.

Vintage auto brochures of American Icons are a reminder of a bygone era. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire.

Imagine this amazing vintage advertising hanging as home decor in any room of your home instead of a museum!
