Chasing David Hosea's P-61 Dreams (PICS)
Probably wrong shade of blue, but getting closer!

Hmm, DREAM DREAM yes that's the one! you are correct Bristol Blue is darker but I could live w/ this
Thank You Brian, It sure is Great to have so many friends that know I enjoy the 61 Pontiac Bonneville so much.
I do wish I had not been forced to sell mine but maybe someday one will surface at something like what I can Pay. These acrs are just Heaven to me and as far as looks these are the best!
I can "feel" the clutch taking up now and hear the engine and trans whine ever so slight as it moves forward. Thank You Brian for the Dream of Today! May I be able to surprise you with a Buick at some time? They are just cars but Oh what Machine(s)! General Motors owned the market in the Late fifties and the early sixties.

No, not my photos. Wish I could have seen it first-hand.

Never drove a '61 Bonneville but did drive a '61 Catalina from Cal to Fla in 1962.
That was one awesome road car and I'd love to have one today. Wide-track made for great handling.
