Of course, these are the prototype photos, with some improvements to make, as the upper line of side windows.

For the photos, I just used tires and rims from other model. The ones from this Pontiac are at work right now.

I'm thinking a darker color. Maybe Fathom Blue or plum Mist Poly

Given your talent for interiors, Sergio, perhaps you pick the interior for this model first and the let that decision inform the exterior - or maybe you already do that!

Plum Mist Poly and Mariner Turquoise Poly; one of them with a black vinyl roof ideally.  White with a black vinyl roof and red or blue interior would be nice too.

I took my drivers test in my father's 1967 Pontiac Parisienne 2 dr htp, Canadian equivalent to the Bonneville. I believe the colour was Mariner Turquoise Poly with parchment bucket seats/interior. It was a very attractive colour combination.That's my recommendation. Just added picture which was similar to my fathers.

1967 Bonnevilles were beautiful automobiles with sexy, curvy lines and a daring front-end look for the times. It's impossible to pick a wrong color choice for this one. Perhaps if a lighter color is picked initially, then a companion or second release of this one might then feature a dark color. That way, nearly everyone can be happy with a choice. (or, if they can't decide, they'll get two !)

@jack-dodds My exact choices too.  Black roof with the Plum, single color for the Turquoise.

This style looked good in any color even though so many were chosen with black interior.  But with open windows and Sergio's detailing, the flashy Bonneville trim will really show up even in black.

Please give one of them the badge showing off the driver's 400 or 428 cu in engine choice.  It was in bold red lettering at the front of the front fender so the folks you're passing cant miss it.

IMO the darker colors somewhat hide much of the details. My two choices are Linden Green and Champange. I agree with Jack a vinyl top would be very appropriate and period correct.

@kenspear  Ken; that interior color suggestion would look great and would show off the excellent interior detail very well.  Same interior for the plum or burgundy exterior too.

Ok now I’m wound up like a cheap clock. Probably my all time favorite Pontiac....had a Beautiful 67’ Bonneville 2dr hardtop years back.

by your palette Cameo White with dark blue vinyl roof and interior. Mariner Turquoise Poly, Loved that car and cried like a baby watching it go down the road with its new owner after I bought my very first brand new car a 74 firemist Firebird.

the only model I’ve seen is a special made dealer promo in gloss black with a $300 price tag. Watching with bated breath!

@larry-kemling  Larry; what I would love to see in time is for Sergio to change this one up to a 67 Grand Prix HT.  The nose on the GP is really attractive.
