you bet, and an Olds "Delta 88" right behind it (for at least part of the journey)

Thank you for sharing this. That was pretty cool. So Wentzville, MO (?) is where my 1990 Bonneville was born?
almost certain Wentzville MO is where your 1990 was assembled, you can confirm based on 11th digit of VIN, '1' is the 'plant code' for Wentzville.
I believe with the introduction of the ...

I wish I could replace most of my own self, with what I had in '95

Over 100 photos from inside the assembly plant, watch as a couple of firewall stampings are the beginning of what will become a finished vehicle in less than 7 minutes.
In November 1992, after placing an order for a brand new Bonneville, journalist John Baeke was invited to visit Wentzville and ...

so you are certain the front bar you pulled off the deville was a stock factory sway bar, there was some sort of tag or stamp on the bar that confirms it's a GM part? There's no chance you happened to find a car that had an aftermarket or custom sway bar previously installed?

1985-1993 Deville.
I've had no luck finding any over the years as they all seem to be 30mm or 32mm.
so I take it that the 34mm front sway bar on the 85-93 deville was not the standard equipment, it was a low volume option? any more specifics on what to look for, do I have to get under each one I ...

I saw a post recently that mentioned upgrading to a Cadillac front sway bar. searched forum using "cadillac sway bar", "deville sway bar" and "34mm sway bar" and didn't get any hits that were helpful.

if there is an existing topic that has all the details, please point me to it, otherwise can ...

Once a year the Pacific Performance Pontiac Car Club hosts an All Pontiac Show'n'Shine. This year it is on Sunday, June 10, 2012 in the parking lot at the Coast Hotel & Convention Center in sunny Langley (close to the Blaine or Aldergrove crossings), British Columbia.

recently I noticed the COMPNINE site is back up, I think this was very popular when it was previously available about a year ago. It gives you the RPO's for a specific VIN, and the "popularity" of each RPO

here's one of the $11 driving lights from the pick-a-part that's about to go onto my car, next to the original driving light that today I just got around to removing

all I can say is well done !!!

the place I like to go to has a fairly comprehensive price list, but now that I'm looking for it, I notice they don't list a price for alloy wheels, I'll have to ask the next time I'm out there

I went to a pick a part yesterday and found 2 GXPs up there. I spent $250 for the 2 sets of rims. They are in good shape to...just a little rash but one set will be painted black. They even came with good tires. :banana: :bwoohoo:
so when you say "rims" are you refering to the 18 inch 5-spoke ...

and this is what I picked on Sunday at the pick-a-part, the driving lights were $11 each

Actually, YES, I remember those. Along with all the brochures. At one time, I had a ton of them. Not sure what I ever did with them though.
Hi, do you remember any details of how it was presented, or what other promotional items were used in a Pontiac new car showroom in that era? I don't know how ...

thanks, appreciate the comments, yes I'm very happy with the way it turned out, it was just over 2 years ago that I first learned about the existance of this poster, it took me a year to pry it away from the GM employee that had it, I think the main reason he finally passed it over to me, was that I ...

some background info on this post from about a year ago - http://pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23809

still curious if anyone remembers seeing one of these in the showroom window of a Pontiac dealership back in the day? Does anyone have old photos of Bonnevilles in the showroom ...
