How green is my Bonny? Let me count the ways - Granny Smith, limes, grass, emeralds and shamrocks. Such a beautiful car modeled precisely and photographed superbly!

A beautiful model that I once had but regrettably sold when I focused more on 1:43 for space reasons.  Oh bring back my Bonny to me...to meeeee. Crying

@bob-jackman I agree Bob; it's an absolutely gorgeous model, especially in HT form.  I think what really sets this design off is the shape of the C pillar and the "lines" in the trunk lid.  Then there's the amazing color choices GM offered.....wow!  Bob, you will recognize the coral pic.

Back in 1963 a long time buddy had a silver and white '58 Bonneville similar to the one pictured but his had a silver roof instead of white. It was all silver with a white spear...the car was drop dead gorgeous.

@geno The copper & white combo is my fave color for this car as well Geno!  Same goes for the '58 Impala.

One or two other awesome colors as well to say the least!

Many similarities between the '58 Impala and the '58 Bonneville. Will do a "Which Series" compro with these two in the very near future.

100%+1 Bob. Probably my favorite 'model pair' with the convertible, color contrast, skirts/no skirts, connie kit/no connie kit, nice subtle differences.

Jack, what an amazing array of beautiful colors. How the hell could we pick one? Look forward to your which ones John, although I'm sure I'll mostly respond with ties. 

Great post gents, thanks for initiating it Geno.
