Thanks to Hollis. John gave a valiant effort by sending my a '57 Chevy parts car, sadly the parts just didn't  work. Thanks you John. Introducing, the incomparable, one and only, 1 of 1. 1957 Pontiac Bonneville Sport Coupe. I painted the top Chateau Grey Poly to go with the White/Grey interior.  I had to make the rear package tray to go where the convertible boot was. I also made the antenna a power unit, in the retracted position. I didn't like the bulky base of the original. I looked up pics and handmade the power antenna drive motor. To me it looks a little sleeker with the antenna down. I also added the photo-etched door and trunk locks, then wrapped it up with a custom license plate. Thanks for checking it out guys. I truly do appreciate it. 😊

Magnificent Geno! I love everything you did on it. The attention to detail in the photo-etch locks and antenna power unit are awesome! The look of the car itself is spot on!! Big pat on the back!!

Thanks guys, I am humbled. Thanks for the kind words, and even taking the time to check it out. I think Pontiac would have done well on selling a hardtop version. JMHO though.😊
