Can only see one of the pictures.  But if I open in a new tab and delete part of the url, then they show up.  Beautiful model.  I can see what it would catch your eye.

Thanks guys, yes, a lot of modifying to make this one happen, lol. Bob, the top came from an FM '55 Chevy ht. I tried the top from an FM '57 Chevy and it wasn't even remotely close to fitting oddly enough. Many thanks to our good friend Hollis for providing that top for me.💯

@jack-dodds Thanks Jack, it's just another what if model I wanted to do. I think Pontiac would have been wise to offer the '57 Bonneville in hardtop form. JMHO though. Plus, there's probably not another FM '57 Bonneville ht. out there, so it truly is an LE.😊

Thanks guys, I truly do appreciate it.  My wheels are always turning, thinking of something new and different to do, lol. I like making them look like it could have come from the factory that way.😁

Great modification Geno! The hardtop is excellent match to the 1957 Star Chief hardtop that had almost identical style to the Bonneville. Even as a car is "one of" since the Bonneville was only made as convertible.
